Meetme is a social platform and online dating website where users can meet other users with similar interests. There are various activities for you to do, like playing games, to get to know the other person more and create a better relationship with them. You can access Meetme for free on any web browser or through its mobile app. Meetme also has credits where you can buy and use it to access more features.

As a popular social media platform, hackers and people with malicious intent will target your data and personal information. To best protect yourself, you need the help of a Meetme proxy. A Meetme proxy will hide your IP address from any website you visit and only show the IP address of the proxy server. This protects your IP address and location and gives you an additional layer of security against people with malicious intent.

Meetme proxies also have other useful cases. For example, if your country or region has banned Meetme from being accessed then you can use a Meetmy proxy to unblock Meetme by changing your IP address to a location where you can access it. If the internet connection or network you’re using has also banned Meetme, whether it be your work or school network, then Meetme proxies can also help you unblock it.

The best Meetme proxies to use are residential proxies as these types of proxies use residential IPs from actual devices making you appear as if you were an actual user from that location. This also ensures that any website you visit will not be able to recognize that you’re using a proxy.

Let’s set up a Meetme proxy server.

Note: Make sure that the web browser you’re using for Meetme is set to automatically copy your computer’s proxy settings. Google Chrome automatically does this, so it’s recommended to use it.

For Windows:

To set up proxies in Windows, simply search for “Proxy Settings” in your windows search bar and open the search result.

You are then given two options to choose from: Automatic proxy setup or Manual proxy setup. If you want windows to automatically detect your proxy settings, choose the first option. Choose the second option if you want to utilize a specific ip address and port number.

If you chose the first option, then:

  1. Turn on Automatically detect Settings
  2. Turn on Use setup script
  3. Enter the script address
  4. Click Save

If you chose the second option, then:

  1. Turn on Use a proxy server
  2. Input both server address and port number
  3. If you have any addresses you would like to visit without a proxy, enter them here
  4. Turn on Don’t use the proxy server for local addresses check box if you want to access a local server without a proxy
  5. Click Save

For Mac.

To start configuring your proxy settings in MacOS, simply:

This should then redirect you to MacOS proxy settings. MacOS is more straightforward compared to windows. You only have one option which is to manually configure your proxy server.

Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Select which proxy IP protocol you want to configure. This depends on which protocols your proxy service provider offers.
  2. Turn on Secure Web Proxy
  3. Input the Proxy Server Address and Port Number
  4. Click OK to save the configurations

Note: You may be prompted for your Mac user password to save your settings.
