What is a proxy list?

This post explores different proxy list versions and their key applications, focusing on HTTP, HTTPS, SSL, SOCKS5, and other alternative IP addresses

Why We need a Proxy list

Proxy lists are essential for delegating proxies or rotating them, ensuring anonymity for bots and crawlers. They are particularly useful for online activities like travel aggregation, brand security, and price comparison, as they require multiple IP addresses for uninterrupted operations.

1.Free Proxy list

A free proxy list offers country-specific IP addresses for free, varying speeds. Assess vendors to determine benefits and potential spying for user information.

2.Proxy server list

The effectiveness of proxies is influenced by factors such as server type, location, submission time, security, and management, as well as server size and security.

3.Public Proxy list

Shared proxy lists allow anyone to view and use proxies on servers, indicating country, ports, average request times, and proxy type. Ideal for basic online behavior, avoid open proxy lists for security concerns.

There are many types of Proxy Present

1.High Anonymity Proxy

High anonymity proxy servers enhance privacy by erasing knowledge until connected to target location, ideal for employees, avoiding traceback, but can also be decoys for personal information access.

2.Distorting proxy

Distorting proxies conceal a website’s identity by changing its IP address, enabling users to hide their location and proxy’s identity while accessing the internet.

3.Center Proxy

Data center proxies, provided by companies, offer quick response times and affordable alternatives for data collection, but may not provide full anonymity, making them ideal for quick information needs.

4.Dedicated proxy

A dedicated proxy is a private proxy that restricts simultaneous sharing of the proxy by multiple clients, allowing only one recipient to receive requests. This prevents the proxy’s IP address from being banned by multiple websites and services, and allows providers to monitor access to the proxy to prevent manipulation

5.Shared Proxy

Shared proxies offer affordable, complex architecture for multiple users, handling multiple requests but may be slower due to resource distribution. Rotating proxies create new IP addresses for each connection.

6.SSL Proxy

SSL encrypts HTTPS, a protected socket layer, and an SSL proxylist,  providing encryption between client and server. It’s commonly used for requesting personal information.
