In today's digital age, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to protect privacy and security is becoming increasingly important. Here are the general steps to enable VPN global mode, helping you better utilize VPN tools.
Selecting the Right VPN Tool
Choosing a reliable VPN tool is the first step in enabling global mode. Common choices include ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and Surfshark, among others. These tools have their unique features, and you can choose based on your needs (such as server distribution, speed, and security).
Installing and Configuring the VPN Tool
1. Download and Install
Visit the official website of the selected VPN tool and download the software version according to your operating system (such as Windows, Mac, iOS, Android). Follow the installation instructions to complete the installation.
2. Initial Setup
Open the installed VPN software, usually requiring you to register an account or log in with an existing account. After logging in, you will receive a set of login credentials (username and password). Follow the software prompts to set up, choosing server location and protocol. Different VPNs offer different server locations, and you can choose based on the content you need to access or network speed.
Setting Up Global Proxy
1. Find the Global Proxy Settings Entry
After successfully connecting to the VPN server, you can find the global proxy settings option in the "Settings" or "Options" menu. The specific location and name of this menu may vary by software.
2. Configure Proxy Type and Server Information
Select the proxy type, common ones include HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, etc. For example, if you are primarily browsing web pages, HTTP or HTTPS proxy might be sufficient; if you need more flexible application proxy, SOCKS is a good choice. Fill in the proxy server address and port, this information can usually be found on the website of the VPN service provider, or by consulting customer service.
Testing Proxy Settings
After setting up, you can test whether the proxy settings are effective by visiting a website that displays IP addresses (such as whatismyip.com). If your real IP address is hidden and the displayed IP address matches the location of the selected VPN server, the proxy settings are successful.
Verifying Global Proxy
By visiting different websites (including domestic and international sites) or using other applications, verify whether the global proxy settings are fully effective. Ensure all network activities (such as browsing websites, application updates, system software checks for updates, etc.) are transmitted through the VPN to effectively protect privacy and security.
Different VPN tools and operating systems may vary, so if you encounter problems during the setup process, it is recommended to refer to the official documentation of the VPN software used or contact customer support. Also, in China, actions such as bypassing blocking restrictions through proxy servers or using VPNs may involve legal risks, so make sure your actions are legal and compliant.
