Proxy server



Transparent proxies: your real IP address is used in the query and is easily determined. It may seem that this type of proxy is useless as it gives no privacy guarantee, but you should not jump to that sort of conclusion. This proxy type serves for a particular purpose: it allows passing by local firewalls which may block your access to the website or even give you some extra speed. The advantage of this type of proxies is their speed which is much higher than with anonymous or elite proxies.

Anonymous proxies help you hide your real IP address. It means you conceal your presence online and your actual location. No one will be able to establish a hidden connection with your PC. This proxy type is suitable for the majority of tasks, but its main disadvantages are low average speed and the fact that some websites may detect your using a proxy.

Elite proxies are the most private ones. They can provide all the advantages of anonymous proxies, but it also helps you conceal the fact you are using a proxy. This proxy type guarantees total privacy, but as such proxies are highly popular, they are normally not that fast due to their frequent reloads.
