Types of proxy servers
HTTP proxy. Works with HTTP requests, using web page caching and access control. Used for content filtering in corporate networks. Such a proxy redirects requests through itself, hiding the users IP address.
HTTPS proxy. Supports the secure HTTPS protocol, ensuring confidentiality and protection of data during transmission, which is especially important for banking operations and entering passwords.
SSL proxy. Creates a single TCP connection, allowing you to work with both HTTP and HTTPS resources. Unlike an HTTP proxy, it provides a secure connection when accessing secure sites.
CGI proxy. Functions as a website, allowing you to enter a URL and receive content through an encrypted form. Popular for bypassing access restrictions.
SOCKS proxy. Used for tasks with large amounts of traffic, such as streaming or P2P networks. Guarantees data delivery via a TCP connection and hides the users IP address.
