Question

What is Porxy Server?how to find one?

Answer 1

wikipedia: A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server, then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes.

Me: If your computer isn't finding it, check your wires and connections to make sure everything is okay. If everything looks fine, than the server itself is just down.
