HTTP is interpreted using HyperText Transfer Protocol, and it acts as an intermediary between you, the client and the website the user wants to access.
Here is what happens to your requests to access a specific website during the time they are served by an HTTP proxy server is enabled:
-
Once the client has submitted the request to the site the user wants to access (which generally happens by clicking on the link) and the web request is not sent directly to the server of the website. Instead, it goes to an HTTP proxy first;
-
After the request has been received through the HTTP proxy, it is scrutinized, and the information from it is used to create another request, one that is sent to the web server. It's done to allow to disguise the IP address of your computer so that the web server is not able to access your private information;
-
Once an HTTP proxy server sends your HTTP requests to the web server, it's processed by servers of the destination to ensure that the response to the client will be constructed;
-
After that you'll just get the response via the web server. It's either allowed to connect to the destination site, or denying you.
When these steps are listed, it might look like there's a lot of work to be accomplished by the client as well as the HTTP proxy servers for requests to be sent. But, when a proxy server with high-quality, such as ProxyWOW is utilized it is possible for all of these steps to need milliseconds of time to complete.

Well, the HTTP protocol that allows you to receive an answer from the target website isn't always the answer every time, which is why the HTTPS proxy server was introduced to fix its shortcomings.
-
HTTP traffic requests are sent by the server of this website in the form of plain text. This implies that security is not the best one: lots of sensitive information such as your passwords or credit card numbers could be easily read by anyone. We do not want that from a proxy.
-
HTTPS proxy employs an updated HTTPS protocol that protects data using the CONNECT method, so that only servers that are remote to the HTTPS website is able to view any information contained in the request sent by the client.
-
There exist two types of protocols that can be utilized via an HTTPS proxy to create the so-called TCP connection between servers and clients within the network. They are called Secure Sockets Layer (or SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
