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.

Frequently asked questions
What is an HTTP proxy and what is it used for?
An HTTP proxy accepts requests from the client and forwards them to the target server, modifying headers when needed. Such proxies are commonly used for scraping, bypassing geo-restrictions, and caching 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 the settings of your browser, application, or OS. Use the service API for programmatic list loading.
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.
