Using a web proxy will help you get around web filters but won’t affect your other apps. If you’re trying to use an app that your school has blocked, you’ll have better luck with a VPN. Web proxies can be a bit slow, so be patient while things load.

Every proxy server has an IP address and port, so make sure to get both. Some schools block a lot of the ports that proxy servers use. If you’re having a tough time finding an IP proxy that works, that might be the reason.
