Problems with ZNC - Potentially stupid question

So I'm trying to use ZNC for the first time but I'm having a few
problems. First I managed to successfully create a config file but I
can't access  znc's graphic interface with my browser. I'm completely
clueless  as to how to set this up. After researching a little bit I
found some articles which were basically saying the same thing:

> So now  connect to your proxy, in your IRC client, instead of
connecting to your normal server

my question is how do I get the ip address of this "proxy", I already
tried connecting to **localhost:port** but that didn't work.

/server IP:Port Username/Password

Also, if you're using UFW, IPtables, Windows Firewall or some other
one, make sure it's allowed to have that port open.

Oh and as far as the browser GUI, Chrome and Firefox both make this a
pain in the ass. Look up how to add a port exception.

I think I didn't understand the whole bouncer thing very well. My
general understanding is that the bouncer would act like a proxy so
that I connect to that proxy rather than to the irc server directly,
but where do I specify this proxy?

like right now , are you saying that I should enter something like
*irc.freenode.net:6697* on my browser? cause that's not working

It's the IP is of the machine you installed it on.

Ok, but that's running on my local machine so my real ip is still
showing up right?
