Fourteen categories of proxy IP

Proxy IPs are becoming more and more common in daily applications, but many users may not know that there are many classification methods and names for proxy IPs. Below we will introduce the classification of proxy IPs according to their uses.

1. HTTP Proxy

HTTP proxy is the most common type of proxy, proxying HTTP access for client and mainly used for proxy browsers to access web pages, usually using ports 80, 8080, 3128, etc.

2. SSL Proxy/HTTPS Proxy

SSL proxy supports up to 128-bit encryption strength and can be used as a proxy to access encrypted websites. Encrypted websites usually start with https:// and the standard port is 443.

3. Socks Proxy

Socks proxy is an all-purpose proxy, similar to a patch panel that can simply connect a system on one end to another. It supports multiple protocol requests including HTTP, FTP requests, and other types. Socks proxy is divided into two types: Socks 4 and Socks 5. Socks 4 only supports TCP protocol, while Socks 5 supports TCP/UDP protocol and multiple authentication mechanisms. The standard port is 1080.

4. HTTP CONNECT Proxy

HTTP CONNECT proxy allows users to establish TCP connections to proxy servers on any port, which can be used for HTTP, FTP, IRC, RM streaming services, etc.

5. POP3 Proxy

The POP3 proxy is used to proxy the mail software on the client to receive mails using the POP3 method. Its port is usually 110.

6. FTP Proxy

The FTP proxy is used to allow the FTP software on the proxy client to access the FTP server. Its port is usually 21 or 2121.

7. Telnet Proxy

Telnet proxy is used to proxy the Telnet of a communication machine. It is usually used for remote control and is often used during intrusion. Its port is usually 23.

8. TUNNEL Proxy

TUNNEL proxy encapsulates data packets into HTTP requests through the HTTPTunnel program to penetrate the firewall, allowing the use of HTTP servers to perform the same tasks as TCP, with functions similar to Socks5.

9. Literature Agency

Literature proxies can be used to query databases. Through these proxies, you can obtain resources from relevant scientific research and academic databases on the Internet, such as querying SD (Sciencedirect website), Academic Press, IEEE, SPRINGER and other databases.

10. Education Network Agent

Educational network proxy refers to the use of specific proxy servers to allow computers in the local area network of an academic institution to access resources that do not have permission to go abroad or cannot access certain IP segments.

11. Springboard Proxy

Springboard proxy is usually used in springboard program, which can be regarded as a special Socks5 proxy with dynamic encryption, and can also be used directly in PSD software. Its port is usually 1813.

12. Ssso Proxy

Ssso proxy is used to proxy the ssso program on the client to access remote websites. It has high-strength SSL encryption and supports Socks.

13. Flat Proxy

Flat proxy is used to proxy the flatsurfer program on the client to access remote websites. It has a high-strength encrypted data stream, supports Socks, and supports up to three cascades, and can be used to traverse the proxy. Its port is usually 6700.

14. SoftE proxy

SoftE Proxy is used to proxy the SoftEther program on the client to access remote websites. It uses virtual hub HUB and virtual network card technology, has scientific Internet access functions and multiple authentication methods. It complies with the https protocol.

The above are some of the main classifications of proxy IPs according to their uses. Although there are many free proxy IP services on the Internet, efficient and reliable proxy IP services are the wise choice.
