Proxy Server

You might think it is a bit geeky, but understanding what a proxy server is or knowing about the proxy server definition is the BEST way to know how to use them. We live in the digital age and everyone should be concerned about their anonymity while online. It is one thing to say that people should protect their privacy online, but another thing to actually do it. The main reason for this is that there are so many different kinds of proxy servers, and unless you know what a proxy server is and how it works, picking one that actually does what you need can be near damn impossible. A proxy server definition is a good thing, because it helps you understand what you are getting into. That's the best way to make sure that people who rent proxies or set them up for you don't cheat you out of your hard earned money.
So what is a proxy server then or a proxy server definition? Well, proxy servers are basically a middle man between your home computer and the internet. You connect through them to the website you want to visit. When you normally connect your home computer to the internet, it connects directly to any website you visit. This means that anything you upload or download comes straight from the website your surfing and is stored on your home computer. This is how 99.9% of people surf the net. A proxy server simply sits in the middle of this connection. All data you send and receive goes through it. That's basically how a proxy server works. Actually, a proxy server definition isn't so hard, the difficult part begins when you learn that there are MANY different kinds of proxies. Yes, that's right, there isn't just one kind of proxy server. It would be nice if there was, but as with most things in this world we have to complicate them for some reason or another. Here are the main different proxies you'll find and what they are primarily used for.
Proxies are used for many reasons, and their use affects the kind of proxy server definition. Some proxies are used for web caching. These proxies are the ones that most ISPs use. What's a web caching proxy? Basically it is a proxy server that stores a copy of the most frequently visited websites on its local hard drive. How is this helpful? Well, if many people on your ISP surf a specific website, your ISP can speed up network performance by temporarily copying and storing the data onto its own network. This means that if you happen to visit the website you don't have to download the data from the website directly. Instead, you grab it from your ISPs local computers. What that means is that it speeds up your internet experience. Keeping a local cache of the most frequently visited websites makes surfing the internet much faster as it takes less time for you to load the content onto your computer. Web caching proxies like this kind offer you no anonymity at all. If you use one of these proxy servers to surf the internet, people can still see the real IP of your home computer.
The other kind of proxy server definition is one that provides anonymity while you use it on the internet. This proxy server isn't actually used for the purpose of speeding up your internet connection by caching data. Instead, it is used to hide or change your IP online. There are many reasons why people may need to change their IP. Some legitimate reasons include needing to use a different IP for testing a website, needing a specific IP in order to connect to a private network, or even needing an IP from a specific country so you can visit a website. These are just some of the many reasons why people need to change their IP and be anonymous online. Anonymous proxy servers make this possible because while you use them to surf the internet, your home computer IP is never revealed or shown to anyone. This kind of setup means that you are using the proxy server to surf the internet with. It visits the website you want to go to, downloads all the information you need and then the proxy server sends it to your home computer. This way the website owner only sees the IP of your proxy server, and he or she has no way of knowing that you are actually using a proxy.
One final thing that needs mentioning about an anonymous proxy server definition is that anonymous proxy servers also come in different flavours. There are many different kinds. What's the major difference between them all? The key point for these proxies is the amount of anonymity they provide you. The worst kind of anonymous proxy gives you a new IP, but the IP they give you can be detected as coming from a proxy. That's not good if you want to be completely anonymous and hide yourself online. The best kind of anonymous proxy, also known as an elite proxy, provides you with 100% anonymity. The IPs they give you look normal, in fact they look like every other IP online and no-one has anyway of knowing that you are using a proxy. Also, they are private. Private proxies are good because it means you are the only one using it. This means it is super fast, and that makes for a very good internet experience. Ever tried to download videos using a 56k dial-up modem? Some proxies really are this slow if you aren't careful. That's why I'd strongly recommend you get an elite proxy if you want to be anonymous online.

Elite Proxy Server Definition

Obviously, if read the above, I am a huge fan of elite proxies. They are the best kind of proxy server you will ever find. If you are tired of looking for a proxy that really is anonymous, and don't want to spend hours checking for sites that offer proxy lists that never work, then I recommend you click on the banner at the top of this page now. I've created an eBook with videos that show you how to setup your own elite proxy. One of these bad boy proxies will make being anonymous on the internet a synch, and they can be setup in less than 10 minutes. An elite proxy server definition should have made it clear that this kind of proxy offers you the best level of anonymity and privacy on the internet.
