What is a free proxy?
Free proxies are usually public proxies or errors of system administrators who do not bother to change the default settings or set a password.
Proxy server is a computer that acts as an intermediary for data exchange between the user and Internet resources.
In other words, if a proxy server is used, any request to the web site first comes to the proxy, and then it transmits this request further to its destination. Then, the proxy server receives data from the requested site and transmits it to the client.
Thus, requests for remote Internet resources come not from the IP-address of the client (user), but from the proxy IP-address. In this case the proxy sends a remote resource some defined headers, the set and values of which determine the degree of anonymity of the proxy server. Free proxies are divided into 3 classes of anonymity: anonymous, elite, transparent.
Anonymous free proxy does not transmit in the headers anything, which regards to the user's IP-address. However headers contains information specific to the proxy server. So remote host sees that this IP address belongs to the proxy server, but the host cannot see the real IP-address of the person who uses the proxy.
Elite proxies don't transmit any headers specific to the proxy server. And of course it doesn't transmit the IP of the client. So the remote host does not see the user's IP and that the proxy server is used. Transparent proxy also requests data from a remote resource using its IP-addresses. But the user's IP-address is visible in the analysis of the headers transmitted to the host. Thus, the host sees the IP of the proxy and the IP of the client, who uses it for Internet connection.
By the way, all our paid proxies are elite. Visit our price list section to see our special proxy offers.
