Proxy Program

What is a proxy server program?

A proxy server program is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resource(s) you are accessing. The data you request come to the proxy first, and only then it transmits the data to you. A proxy server receives a request for an Internet service (such as a web page request) from a user. If the proxy server is also a cache server, it can use its local cache of previously downloaded web pages to provide the page without forwarding the request to the Internet. If the page is not in the cache, the proxy server uses one of its own IP addresses to request the page from the server on the Internet. When the page is returned, the proxy server relates it to the original request and forwards it to the user.

On ProxyWay.com you can find the list of the most popular privacy protection and proxy operating software and freeware.

What is proxy software?

• Proxy software provides anonymous surfing and allows you to hide or change your IP address from websites you visit and your ISP.

• You can configure your browser or application to work through proxy software to stay anonymous when you visit websites, download files, send emails, etc.

• Proxy software provides different proxy management functions such as proxy finder, proxy checker, proxy filter, proxy chaining options, etc which simplify anonumous surfing.

• Some proxy tools support CGI proxy servers (web proxy servers), which enables you to configure proxy software to change CGI proxy on fly, create proxy chains with CGI proxies, etc.
Why you should concern about anonymous surfing
Internet is full of potential risks to your privacy and security. Every time you surf the web you leave traces of your Internet activity. That can reveal your real-life identity and expose you to hackers, identity thieves and spammers so they can monitor your browsing habits and activities, spy upon you, steal personal information and exploit security holes in your system to cause damage to your computer.

IP address (Internet Protocol address) is your Internet identification number. Everyone has an IP address to communicate on the Internet. Your computer's IP address is comparable to your home address or your Social Security number. If someone get your IP address, they can use the information to identify your country, city, internet provider and even your physical address. Your IP address is left in logs all around the Internet: in the logs of your ISP, at the routers of your requests and finally the destination of your request. Anonymous surfing can help you to access web sites that may be restricted for users from certain countries or geographical regions.

Proxy Servers FAQ
Why should I use proxy servers?

Speed improvement: Proxy servers accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a special database, called cache. Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately.
Security and privacy. Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP address saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it. So you can safely surf the web and your information will never be used by hackers and spammers.
Sometimes you may encounter problems while accessing to web server when server administrator restricted access from your IP or even from wide IP range (for example restricting access from certain countries or geographical regions). You can try to access those pages using an anonymous proxy server.

HTTP proxy server

HTTP proxy server is a proxy allowing to work on the Internet with HTTP and (not always) FTP protocols. It can carry out caching of information downloaded from the Internet. HTTP proxy servers have several anonymity levels.

What anonymity levels of HTTP proxy servers exist?

- Transparent proxy - these proxies are not anonymous. They don't hide IP-address of a client and let a web server know that you are surfing through a proxy server. The task of such proxies, as a rule, is information caching and/or support of Internet access for several computers via single connection. Such proxies are not applicable for security and privacy while surfing on net. You can use them only for network speed improvement.
- Anonymous proxy - these proxies don't show your real IP but change the request fields so it is very easy to detect that you are using proxy. - High Anonymous proxy - these proxy servers do not pass an IP-address of a client and don't send any variables indicating that you are using proxy server to host and look like real browser. What is a SOCKS proxy server?

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol that enables hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain full access to hosts on the other side of the SOCKS server without requiring direct IP-reachability. SOCKS is often used as a network firewall, redirecting connection requests from hosts on opposite sides of a SOCKS server. The SOCKS server authenticates and authorizes requests, establishes a proxy connection, and relays data between hosts.

Proxy Question
• Why are my Internet Explorer proxy settings changed after changing Safari proxy settings?

Safari, MSN Explorer, AOL Explorer and Maxthon use some Internet Explorer settings e.g proxy settings. So, if you make any changes for Internet Explorer, these changes influence Internet Explorer as well as other browsers which share Internet Explorer settings and vice versa.
