There are many common types of proxy IPs, such as dynamic proxy, static proxy, highly anonymous proxy IP, HTTP proxy, etc. They are often classified according to different standards. If users do not know how these proxy IPs are classified and what they mean, it will be difficult to choose the proxy IP they need. Next, let's take a look at the common types of proxy IPs:
Classification by anonymity
According to the anonymity classification, proxy IP can be divided into three types: highly anonymous proxy IP, ordinary anonymous proxy IP, and transparent proxy IP. Highly anonymous proxy IP is the most anonymous proxy IP. Generally speaking, the target website server cannot recognize that the user is using a proxy; the anonymity of ordinary anonymous proxy IP is low, and the target website server can find that the user is using a proxy IP, which often poses a privacy risk; transparent proxy IP cannot be anonymous and will directly expose the real IP of the user terminal, which is more risky.
Classification by time
According to the time limit, proxy IP can be divided into static proxy IP and dynamic proxy IP. Static proxy IP is fixed, while dynamic proxy IP has time limit and will become invalid after the time limit. Dynamic proxy IP can be divided into long-term proxy IP and short-term proxy IP. The time limit of short-term proxy IP generally ranges from a few seconds to a few minutes; the time limit of long-term proxy IP usually ranges from a few minutes to a few days.
Classification by protocol type
According to the protocol type, proxy IP can be divided into http(s) proxy IP and socks5 proxy IP. Of course, there are more Internet protocols than these, but these two or three are the more common protocols in the market. http(s) proxy IP supports both http and https protocols, while socks5 proxy is just for data transmission, and has no requirements for the protocol type.
Classification by purity
According to the purity, proxy IP can be divided into exclusive IP pool and shared IP pool. The fewer people use the proxy IP, the higher the purity. For example, exclusive IP pool, the proxy IP used by one person, has extremely high purity; shared IP pool, no more than 10 people use it, which can be regarded as a high-purity shared IP pool; other unexplained proxy IP packages are usually shared IP pools.
