Reference
Proxy Type
| Type | Description | Anonymity |
|---|---|---|
| VPN | Anonymizing VPN services. These services offer users a publicly accessible VPN for the purpose of hiding their IP address. | High |
| TOR | Tor Exit Nodes. The Tor Project is an open network used by those who wish to maintain anonymity. | High |
| DCH | Hosting Provider, Data Center or Content Delivery Network. Since hosting providers and data centers can serve to provide anonymity, the Anonymous IP database flags IP addresses associated with them. | Low |
| PUB | Public Proxies. These are services which make connection requests on a user's behalf. Proxy server software can be configured by the administrator to listen on some specified port. These differ from VPNs in that the proxies usually have limited functions compare to VPNs. | High |
| WEB | Web Proxies. These are web services which make web requests on a user's behalf. These differ from VPNs or Public Proxies in that they are simple web-based proxies rather than operating at the IP address and other ports level. | High |
| SES | Search Engine Robots. These are services which perform crawling or scraping to a website, such as, the search engine spider or bots engine. | Low |
| RES | Residential proxies. These services offer users proxy connections through residential ISP with or without consents of peers to share their idle resources. Only available with PX10 & PX11 | Medium |
| CPN | Consumer Privacy Network: These services ensure encrypted traffic from the user's browser by routing internet requests through relays, concealing the IP address, location, and browsing activity. Only available with PX11 | Low |
| EPN | Enterprise Private Network: Services like SASE or SD-WAN combine network security functions with wide-area networking (WAN) capabilities to meet the secure remote access needs of organizations. Only available with PX11 | Low |
