Knowing about proxy servers

If you are new to proxy servers and don’t know exactly what are they, here is a short explaination. A proxy server is a computer that is running a proxy server application, which allows you to connect to it, and request data. So, instead of surfing directly to a website, you can request that website from a proxy server, which will request it from the website’s server, and send it to you.

One of the main reasons why would you use a proxy is because using an anonymous proxy server to connect to websites, makes you anonymous. Because you don’t have any connection with the website, the website can’t get any information from you directly. All information it gathers, is sent from the proxy servers. This also prevents some malicious attempts that some websites perform on their visitors.

There are three types of proxy servers with different anonymity levels. A transparent proxy server offers no protection at all, so we don’t advise you to use them. The seccond type of proxy is an anonymous proxy, which protects you from revealing your computer’s IP address to websites. The last, most anonymous, is the so called elite proxy server, which also protects you from revealing your computer’s IP address. The difference between an anonymous and an elite proxy is that when using an anonymous proxy, websites do know you use a proxy, while the elite proxy servers don’t reveal this information.
