 FAQs : Check Proxy Professional FAQ (English) : Proxy Servers :
 Anonymity of HTTP and SOCKS Proxy? |
As SOCKS transfers all data from a client
to a server, nothing adding from itself, from the point of view
of a web-server, a socks proxy is a client. Therefore anonymity
of this type of proxy servers is really always absolute
HTTP proxy servers have several anonymity levels. It depends on
purposes, which a proxy is used for, so an anonymity requirement
is not always an essential one.
Conditionally HTTP proxy servers by their anonymity degree could
be divided onto:
Transparent - these proxies are not
anonymous. They, first, let a web server know that there is used
a proxy server and, secondly, "give away" an IP-address
of a client. The task of such proxies, as a rule, is information
caching and/or support of Internet access for several computers
via single connection.
Anonymous - these proxy servers let
a remote computer (web-server) know, that there is used a proxy,
however, they do not pass an IP-address of a client.
Distorting - unlike the previous type, they transfer an IP-address
to a remote web-server, however, this address is a phantom: randomly
generated by a proxy server or any fixed (not your) IP. So, these
proxies distort your IP address from the point of view of a web-server.
High anonymous (elite) - they do not
send your IP-address to a remote computer. Also, they do not inform
that there is used any proxy server! So, a web-server "thinks"
that it works directly with a client.
