How to Find Proxy Server Settings

Proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary between your network and the Internet. It also filters the requests from each computer for content. Furthermore, it stores the visited webpages in it's cache memory and, when those pages are requested by users, delivers them to the computers without going back to the Internet, thus speeding up the process. Proxy server is usually a computer system on your network, but you can check what the settings are from your machine.
