Specifically, the workflow of the proxy server is as follows: First, the user sends a request to visit a particular website or resource. The requested information will be transmitted to the proxy server first and then forwarded to the target website by the proxy server. If the proxy server does not have the requested resource cached, it sends the request to the target website and forwards the received response to the user. If the proxy server has already cached the requested resource, it will directly fetch it from the cache and deliver it to the user.
In this process, a proxy server can provide many valuable functions, such as caching resources to improve network speed, protecting user privacy, bypassing Internet censorship, etc. Therefore, proxy servers play a vital role on the Internet and provide users with many conveniences.
You may see references to four different types of proxy servers:
1. Transparent proxy. This proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server and provides the original IP address via HTTP headers. These are usually due to their ability to cache websites, which cannot effectively offer anonymity to users who use them. However, using a transparent proxy will bypass simple IP bans.
2. Anonymous Proxy This proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server but does not provide the original IP address. This type of proxy server is undetectable, but it offers reasonable anonymity for most users.
3. Twisted proxy. This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server but provides an incorrect original IP address via HTTP headers.
4. Highly anonymous proxy This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not provide the original IP address.
5. A reverse proxy is a proxy server different from traditional proxy servers. A reverse proxy server receives requests from clients and forwards them to servers on the internal network. This method can help administrators manage the resources of the internal network in a unified manner and can hide the servers of the internal network behind the firewall, thereby better protecting the security of the internal network
