There are many common types of proxy IPs, such as dynamic proxy, static proxy, highly anonymous proxy IP, HTTP proxy, etc., which are often divided according to different standards. If users do not know how these proxy IPs are classified and what they represent, it will be difficult to choose the proxy IP they need. Next, let's take a look at the common types of proxy IPs:
1. Classification by degree of anonymity
According to the degree of anonymity, proxy IPs can be divided into three types: highly anonymous proxy IPs, ordinary anonymous proxy IPs, and transparent proxy IPs. Highly anonymous proxy IPs are the most anonymous proxy IPs. Generally speaking, the target website server cannot recognize that the user is using a proxy; ordinary anonymous proxy IPs have a low degree of anonymity, and the target website server can find that the user is using a proxy IP, which often poses a privacy risk; transparent proxy IPs cannot be anonymous, and will directly expose the real IP of the user's terminal, which is more risky.
2. Classification by time limit
According to the time limit, proxy IPs can be divided into static proxy IPs and dynamic proxy IPs. Static proxy IPs are fixed, and dynamic proxy IPs have a time limit, which will expire after the time limit. Dynamic proxy IP can be divided into long-term proxy IP and short-term proxy IP. The validity of short-term proxy IP generally ranges from a few seconds to a few minutes; the validity of long-term proxy IP usually ranges from a few minutes to a few days.
3. 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 on the market. http(s) proxy IP supports both http and https protocols, while socks5 proxy simply transmits data and has no requirements for protocol types.
4. Classification by purity
According to 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, the exclusive IP pool, the proxy IP used by one person, has extremely high purity; the shared IP pool, which is used by no more than 10 people, can be regarded as a shared IP pool with high purity; other unexplained proxy IP packets are usually shared IP pools.
Therefore, choosing a trustworthy proxy IP provider becomes an important thing
