Hey! Figuring out how to use proxy settings can be tricky at first, but it’s not too bad once you get the hang of it.
For HTTP vs SOCKS, HTTP is simpler and works for basic web browsing, but SOCKS is better for things like torrenting or gaming since it handles all types of traffic.
If you’re just pasting the IP and port, make sure you also check the authentication box if your proxy requires a username/password.
For free proxies, try HideMyAss or ProxyNova, but be careful—free ones can be slow or sketchy. For better privacy, a paid VPN might be worth it.
Hope that helps!
