Proxy

In today's world of API development and testing, the need to work through proxy servers arises quite often. Whether it's testing geolocation restrictions, ensuring security, or working in a corporate environment, configuring proxies in Postman is becoming an important skill for developers and testers. In this step-by-step guide, we'll look at how to quickly and correctly set up a proxy connection in Postman, allowing you to test APIs more effectively, bypass regional restrictions, and provide an extra layer of anonymity when working with web services.

Postman is a widely used API tool that allows developers and testers to effectively test web services. According to the information on the page, Postman can be downloaded from the official website and installed on various operating systems.

One of Postman's key features is the ability to configure proxy connections, which allows you to:

- Work anonymously
- Bypass regional IP restrictions
- Test APIs from different regions and accounts

The platform allows you to flexibly configure various parameters for testing, including proxy configurations with support for HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
