Frequently asked questions
What is an anonymous proxy?
An anonymous proxy hides your real IP address from the target site. However, the site can detect the fact of proxy use via HTTP headers such as Via and X-Proxy-ID.
What is the difference between anonymous and transparent proxies?
An anonymous proxy hides your IP, although the site may detect the fact of proxy connection. A transparent proxy hides neither the IP nor the proxying itself. Anonymous proxies provide a higher level of privacy.
Are anonymous proxies suitable for everyday use?
Yes, anonymous proxies are suitable for regular web browsing, bypassing geo-restrictions, and basic IP masking. For tasks with increased anonymity requirements, elite proxies are a better choice.
How do sites detect anonymous proxies?
Sites look at the Via and X-Forwarded-For headers. An anonymous proxy hides your IP but keeps proxy indicators in those headers, allowing the site to identify it.
How do proxies differ from VPN for anonymity?
Proxies work at the application level and are faster for specific tasks. VPN encrypts all device traffic. Proxies are easier to rotate for distributed requests, while VPN is better for full protection.
