What is Proxy Finder?
Proxy Finder searches for HTTP proxy lists, HTTPS proxy lists and SOCKS (SOCKS4, SOCKS4A, SOCKS5, SOCKS5 with Authentication) proxies lists on the Internet. You should specify proxy web site URL(s) where proxy lists are located and Proxy Finder will automatically find proxy servers information. Then proxy/proxies are added to the program proxy list. Also some proxy finders can check added proxies on fly or by your request. Usually proxies can be checked for proxy state, proxy speed, proxy location and proxy anonymity.
Most proxy finder tools allow you to:
- Scan proxy web sites and extract HTTP proxy lists, HTTPS proxy list and SOCKS proxies list
- Recognize different proxy list formats
- Import/export proxy lists
- Search proxies from certain countries
- Extract proxies from different proxy lists simultaneously
- Automatically search for proxies using scheduler

What is a proxy server?
A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resource you are accessing. The proxy server receives a request for an Internet service, and 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 proxy cache, the proxy server uses its own IP address to request the page from the server on the Internet. When the page is returned, the proxy server forwards it to the user. So the data you request first come to the proxy, and then the proxy server transmits it to you.

How to use proxy servers
There are several uses of a proxy server:
Improve web performance
The most common use of proxy servers is to speed up web performance. Proxy servers store copies of web pages that are most often requested. And, when the user requests a webpage stored in the proxy server's cache, it is provided by the proxy server, which is faster than going to the web. Therefore, the proxy server can increase the speed of web performance.

Another common use of proxy servers is to provide Internet privacy. If the page is not in the proxy cache, the anonymous proxy server hides your IP address saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it by forward the request to the end server using its own IP address. So you can safely surf the web and your information will never be used by hackers and spammers. Proxy servers also help improve security by filtering out some web content and malicious software.
Another use of anonymous proxy servers is to bypass network restrictions and access websites which are blocked by your administrator or ISP.
Proxy servers are also used is to filter requests. This operation might be seen in schools or workplaces, where the employees are not allowed to visit certain web sites. This can be very easily done by configuring the Internet proxy server that is used.
