Its working is just like this, as soon as the client establish a connection with the proxy server, then it will ask for a connection, files or any other resources resides in another server.

Actually the proxy server is providing the clients with resources from the particular server or sometimes from a cache also. During certain times, there are chances of altering either the request of the server or the response from the server by the proxy itself upon different situations.

Some of the commonly used implementation methods are from the client side and from the server side:

How To Hide IP Address With Different Types of Proxy Servers

  1. Anonymous proxy - Those who want to hide an IP address should choose an anonymous proxy server. An anonymous proxy server will successfully hide IP address and ensures that your IP address is undetectable. But one defect associated with this type of proxy is that, they can be easily get detected.
  2. Transparent proxy - A transparent proxy server doesn’t hide IP address. This proxy will identify itself as the original proxy and it also allows the original IP address to be available through the http readers.
  3. Distorting proxy (in the proxy world also known as Gateway proxy server ): We can hide IP address by using this type of proxy. Though a distorting proxy hides your IP address, it also identifies itself as a proxy server, therefore it is detectable and others will know that you are using the proxy.
  4. High Anonymous or Elite Proxy Server: This proxy server will hide IP address and will not identify that you are using a proxy server because do not send any typical proxy variable to the website.
