What is proxy server?
A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing (Web
sites, FTP archives etc.).
The data you request come to the proxy first, and only then it transmits the data to you.
Why I need to use proxy servers?
1. Transfer speed improvement. If the file you requested was received before to your proxy server, then proxy server will
interrupt this file request and you will receive the file directly from proxy. However need to know, you can got the "speed down"
effect. This effect appears when your proxy has long answer time because there is slow connection between you and your proxy
server.
2. Security and privacy. Anonymous proxies destroys information about your computer in the requests header. So you can safely surf
the net and your information will never be used by hackers and spammers.
3. Sometimes you encounter some problems while accessing to web server (for example, web-chat). You have mistaken while working
with some data and / or the server administrator restricted access from your IP. So you can use the anonymous proxy and try to access
again.
Types of proxy:
Transparent proxy -iIs one of the methods to force users to use proxy within local network. They use proxy without
awareness,
so they
do not know even that in fact they use proxy. Such proxy is not even configuring by users.
Anonymous proxy- It is a proxy server which is free and open for everybody on the Internet. There is quite a large number
of
public proxy
servers in many countries but most of them are not anonymous.
High anonymity (elite proxy) - High Anonymous (real anonymous!) proxy servers don't transfer the information about the
IP-address of
the client, and thus effectively hide the information about you and your surfing interests. Besides that, some proxy servers can also
hide the very fact that you are surfing through a proxy server! Anonymous proxies can be used for all kinds of Web-services, such as
Web-Mail (MSN Hot Mail, Yahoo mail), web-chat rooms, FTP archives, etc.
