What is a proxy server?
A proxy server 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.

What is a transparent proxy server?
A transparent proxy server is not anonymous. The transparent proxy doesn't hide an IP address of a client and let a web server know that you are surfing through a proxy server.

Transparent proxy servers are not applicable for security and privacy purposes. They can be used only for network speed improvement.

Why you should use proxy servers
There are several reasons to use proxy servers from improving surfing speed to privacy aspects.
Proxy servers accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in cache. So proxy server cache may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately. Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet.
Anonymous and high anonymous proxy servers hide your IP so you can safely surf the Internet and your information will never be used by hackers and spammers.
Using proxy servers can also be useful if access to some sites is restricted from your IP or even from wide IP range (for example restricting access from certain countries or geographical regions).

What is an HTTP proxy server?
An 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.
Now HTTP proxy servers are the most widespread. Their support (ability to use them) is included into many programs: browsers, download managers etc. However, their support is not realized at a level of an operating system - in order to use them, you should configure all programs, which should use proxies, in an appropriate way.

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.
There are two major versions of SOCKS: SOCKSv4 and SOCKSv5.

Proxy Question
• The proxy software logs show that I am surfing through proxies but the IP address test shows my real IP.
As you may know not all proxies hide an IP address. Transparent proxies are not applicable for private surfing as they do not hide your IP address. If you need to change your IP address, you should use anonymous or high anonymous proxies.
