HTTP proxies

HTTP proxies work at the application level, receiving and forwarding requests over HTTP. Depending on which headers they pass along, they are divided into elite, anonymous, and transparent groups, which determines how visible the real IP address remains.

When to choose HTTP proxies

Common tasks

  • Web scraping and data collection
  • Bypassing basic geo-restrictions
  • Content caching and load reduction
  • SEO monitoring of search results
  • Resource availability testing from different regions

Limitations and compatibility

HTTP proxies work only with HTTP traffic and do not encrypt data. For HTTPS sites, the CONNECT method is required — in such cases HTTPS proxies are preferable. UDP traffic cannot pass through HTTP proxies. Typical ports: 80, 8080, 3128, 8888.

Frequently asked questions

What is an HTTP proxy and what is it used for?

An HTTP proxy is an intermediary server operating over the HTTP protocol. It forwards web requests from the client to the target server and may modify headers. HTTP proxies are widely used for scraping, bypassing geo-restrictions, and caching web pages.

How do HTTP proxies differ by anonymity level?

Elite HTTP proxies completely hide the fact of proxy use. Anonymous ones hide the IP but may be detected as proxies. Transparent ones hide neither the IP nor the fact of usage.

How to connect to an HTTP proxy?

Enter the proxy address and port in your browser, application, or system settings. For automatic list export, use our service API.

What ports do HTTP proxies typically use?

The most common HTTP proxy ports are 80, 8080, 3128, and 8888. Port 80 is the standard for HTTP traffic, while 8080 and 3128 are popular alternative proxy ports.

Does an HTTP proxy affect loading speed?

An HTTP proxy can either speed up loading through caching or slow it down with high server latency. Speed depends on proxy location and current load.
