How to set up a proxy in Yandex Browser?

In addition to the fact that this method of logging into the network allows users to bypass blocking, a proxy is able to protect a personal computer from external network attacks. As already noted, the majority of Internet users (under modern conditions of restrictions on the part of providers and the state) use special programs and browsers to bypass blocking. A well-known example of such a browser is Tor, which is open-source software for implementing “ onion routing.” This browser is often used to enter a closed part of the Internet (“darknet”). However, despite the convenience of such programs, they have a number of the following disadvantages:

1. To bypass resource blocking, you need to download and install third-party utilities


2. For the security and proxy system to work correctly, it is necessary to make detailed settings for each element of the browser, otherwise the utility may block entry to open (unblocked) sites


3. Most programs are distributed on a paid basis, so after the trial period ends, users have to purchase a license.

It is logical that not all users want to purchase the full version of proxy utilities to enter blocked sites, especially if they need to visit only a few resources.

Setting up a proxy in Yandex Browser

As in the case of Google Chrome, Yandex Browser has its own store of add-ons and applications. At the moment, the so-called “Yandex Store” offers several proxy utilities, which are often used to bypass blocked resources.

It is noteworthy that to independently configure a proxy in this browser, there is no need to install additional utilities and auxiliary programs. Before taking a step-by-step look at the process of setting up a proxy in Yandex Browser, we list the main advantages of using such servers:

If access to a blocked portal is still closed, we recommend changing the proxy server settings in the Yandex browser. Often the “lifetime” of a proxy is short, so sometimes you have to resort to adjusting the data in the settings.

Our recommendations for work

When setting up a proxy yourself, we recommend following some rules and recommendations to make server activation easier:

• First, you should use only verified IP addresses that you enter in your browser settings. If you fail to comply with this point, you risk running into fraudulent addresses, the use of which can allow attackers to obtain your personal data
• Secondly, constant use of a proxy can lead to the fact that most unblocked sites and pages will be inaccessible to you. Even those proxy servers that allow you to bypass page blocking do not always work with official pages of social networks and communities
• If you decide to set proxy settings only for the Yandex browser yourself, then you should rely on the instructions discussed in the previous section. Otherwise, you risk losing access to your network, which will have to be restored with the help of specialists.

Returning the default IP address

To “roll back” all changed settings, you can use two methods. In the first case, to return the standard proxy address, you should disable the proxy server in the Yandex browser settings.The second method is more “effective”, so it’s worth considering it in more detail:

1. Launch the Control Panel


2. Go to the "Network and Internet" section


3. In the "Browser Options" subsection, select "Manage browser add-ons"


4. Selecting the "Connections" tab, go to "Network Settings"


5. Uncheck the “Use a proxy server for local connections” checkbox, thereby returning the standard connection settings.
