What is a proxy server ?

A proxy server is computer that functions as an intermediary between a web browser (such as IE,Chrome,Safari,Opera,Firefox,Maxthon etc.) and the Internet. Proxy servers help improve web performance by storing a copy of frequently used webpages. When a browser requests a webpage stored in the proxy server's collection (its cache), it is provided by the proxy server, which is faster than going to the web. Proxy servers also help improve security by filtering out some web content and malicious software.In other words once you keep browsing using proxies, you are protected and your real IP address is not being logged.

Types of proxy .

• Anonymous Proxy 
  This type of proxy server indentifies itself as a proxy server, but does not make the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but provides reasonable anonymity for most users.
• Distorting Proxy
  This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but make an incorrect original IP address available through the http headers.
• High Anonymity Proxy
  This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not make available the original IP address. 
• Transparent Proxy
  Transparent proxying means that the presence of the proxy is invisible to the user. Transparent proxying however requires kernel support.
