When connecting to different Web pages through your Opera browser, you are accessing a saved version of the website located on a computer server. Servers host this information and your computer makes a request to access the data. Web browsers like Opera use port 80 by default to connect to the World Wide Web. This port is kept open and used to identify your computer when you connect, request information and transfer it to your own system. You can change the port used and select a custom proxy server by accessing the Opera tools menu.

Instructions


Open your Opera Web browser and click "Tools" on the menu bar.


Navigate to Preferences, then click the "Advanced" tab. Click on "Network" to access the settings.


Click "Proxy Servers." Click the box titled "HTTP" to customize your server and port settings.


Type the server IP address in the space provided. Next, enter the port number in the Port box. Click "OK" to save the settings.
