WHAT’S A PROXY SERVER

Understanding proxy servers is necessary before we can comprehend the different types of proxies.

A proxy server is a program that acts as a middleman between a user making a request and the server fulfilling that request. The user and the online pages they want to access are separated by the server.

TYPES OF PROXIES

According to the degree of anonymity, location, protocol, kind of usage, type of IP address, etc., proxies are classified into many sorts.

In order for you to learn enough about the three components of anonymity, protocoland kind of usage, I'll go through them in more detail below.

DEGREE OF ANONYITY

l With anonymous proxies, your IP address is changed to theirs. In the HTTP line, the proxy server's address will also be shown. The websites you visit will show that you are using a proxy even if they won't know your true IP address if you use one of them. Your trustworthiness will consequently be substantially lower. Anonymous proxies are useful for basic internet anonymity, but they are not suited for parsing, Facebook, Google, or other complicated websites.

l Multiple clients use shared proxies, which are often the least expensive proxies as more proxies may be used for the same fee by more clients. The crucial aspect of shared proxies is that they necessitate a very strong network architecture since they must manage several simultaneous connection requests.

l Elite Anonymous proxies do not define your or their intellectual property rights or indicate that you are utilizing a proxy. These proxies have the benefit of hiding your proxy usage from the website you are viewing. If you wish to simulate genuine users, such proxies are useful for traffic arbitrage, comment posting, etc.

PROTOCOL PROXIES

l For more secure and private data delivery, SSL proxy use the SSL protocol. It offers some extra defense against hackers and spy organizations. You may also utilize SSL or HTTPS proxies on our network, which send all data between the proxy server and your target via HTTPS.

l HTTP proxies don't employ the SSL protocol. These proxies have some excellent specialized uses, but SSL makes them difficult to use. These are the fundamental proxy kinds, and there may or may not be subtypes of them. An example of an HTTP proxy is an Elite proxy.

l In comparison to other proxy types, SOCKS5 proxies provide higher security features while simultaneously providing more flexibility. A SOCKS5 proxy may be preferred than a virtual private network in situations when users aren't particularly concerned with encrypting their data since it can operate at a faster rate.

KIND OF USAGE

l service proxy. Another name for them is data center proxies. They serve as the proxies via which your data center IP is obtained. These proxies are inexpensive, but they have one drawback: they are recognized as proxies. As a result, you won't be able to mimic the actions of frequent users. However, certain websites could prevent you from using their services if you are trying to conceal your identity. They aren't special. These proxies permit concurrent use by many users. These proxies are useful for accessing websites that are restricted in a certain nation or area.

l Residential proxy. These IP addresses are given to the homeowner by the ISP and are associated with a specific location. Using a residential proxy, you may choose a particular place, such as a nation, city, or cell operator, and begin browsing the Internet as though you actually lived there.The two main drawbacks of residential proxies are that they are substantially more expensive than server proxies and that they frequently operate much more slowly than data center proxies.

l Static Proxiy. The term "static" here refers to a feature of the product;,only one client at a time may utilize the proxy. A static proxy can only be used by the user who is currently using it, making it exclusive to that user.
