and then it makes a connection over its own IP-address to the other side of the computer network. If a Proxy is used, the true address of the

Authentication= Is the confirmation that a computer network is locked, or protected. This locking is also called authorizing. For example as

“access authorization” or “authenticity” or as ”validation”

Subnet mask= The Subnet mask specifies, which IP addresses the host computer looks for in a local network. It separates the IP address

into a network and a component part. The network part must be equal with all devices of the respective network and the component part must

be different for each equipment. The subnet masks of all computers in an IP network have to be configured as same.
