  • Reverse Proxy: Acts as a gateway for incoming requests from the internet to one or more servers in a local network. Provides load balancing, caching, SSL termination.
  • Transparent Proxy: Intercepts connections without any configuration on the client side. Often used for content filtering or traffic monitoring.
  • SOCKS Proxy: Proxies operating at a lower level (session or presentation layer). Support protocols other than HTTP. SOCKS4 and SOCKS5.
  • Anonymous Proxy: Hides information about the client from the target server. Can be high anonymity (High Anonymity), anonymous (Anonymous), or transparent (Transparent).
