HTTP can be identified by its acronym HyperText Transfer Protocol, and it acts as an intermediary between you, the client, and the website that is accessible to you.
Here is what happens to your requests to connect to a specific site during the time your HTTP proxy server is active:
-
When a user sends a request to the website they wish to access (which usually happens simply by clicking on the link), the web request doesn't connect directly to web server. Instead, it connects to an HTTP proxy first.
-
Once the request is received through the HTTP proxy, it's examined, and the information obtained from it is used to create another request. This is the one that will be transmitted to the web server. It is done in order for you to mask your IP address in order that the web server isn't able access your private data;
-
After an HTTP proxy server sends the HTTP Request to web server, it will be processed by servers of the location so that the answer to the client is made;
-
After that you will receive an answer for the web server. This is either allowing you to access the web page you are trying to access, or not allowing you access to the website at all.
When all the actions are recorded they could appear to suggest there's a lot required to be executed by both the client as well as the HTTP proxy servers for the requests to be made. However, if a high-quality proxy server such as ProxyWOW is used it is possible for all of these steps to require milliseconds.

This means that the security of the site isn't at its best: a lot of personal data such as passwords and credit card numbers can be easily observed by anyone, and that's why we do not want that from an intermediary.
-
HTTPS proxy is an upgraded HTTPS protocol that secures data using the CONNECT algorithm so that nobody other than any remote servers of an HTTPS website will be able to read the contents of the request that the user sends.
-
