In the present, a large number of users use proxies for a safe and secure connection to the Internet. For some, it is an absolute necessity since some websites are not accessible from private IP addresses, but in the case of others, it's only a matter of choice to be a way to ensure that no sensitive information about you is handed an unauthorised third party.
There are many types of proxies on the market, but how can anyone who is new to this field pick the right one? Is it HTTP proxy, opaque proxies or anonymous ones?
Luckily for you all of this info is clarified in the article below to help you pick a server for proxy based on your own needs!
HTTP Proxy or HTTPS Proxy: What to choose?
Two major differences among the various types of proxies are HTTP and HTTP proxies. That's why it is essential for anyone new to the area to know about them first.
In the following paragraphs, we are going be describing to you the ways in which these two kinds of servers are different from each and give you a an understanding of how any proxy server works.
HTTP Proxy
So WHAT IS the proxy server for HTTP?

HTTP is interpreted for HyperText Transfer Protocol, and it acts as an intermediary between you, the user, and the website that the user wants to access.
HTML0Here's what happens with your requests for access to a particular website with an HTTP proxy server is running:
-
Once the client has submitted the request to the web page is wanted to access (which is usually done by clicking on the link) it is important to note that the web request is not sent directly to the server for the website. Instead, it goes to the HTTP proxy first;
-
After the request is acknowledged from the HTTP proxy, it's studied, and the information from it is then used to create another request, the one that will be forwarded to the web server. This is done so as to disguise the IP address of your computer so that the web server isn't able access your private data;
-
When an HTTP proxy server forwards your HTTP request through the web server, it will be processed by it by the server at the site so that a response to the user will be constructed;
-
After that you'll get the response on the web server. This is either allowed to connect to the targeted site or not permitting you.
When these procedures are listed in a document they could appear to suggest there's a lot of work to be accomplished by the client as well as the HTTP proxy for the requests to be made. But, when a good proxy server, like ProxyWOW is used this entire procedure will need milliseconds of time to complete.
HTTPS Proxy
Now that you know the way HTTP proxy work, you might think, why would there be a need for another type of proxy server as well?

-
Well, the HTTP protocol that is used to get an answer from the targeted site is not always the best option every time, which is why the HTTPS proxy server was invented to remedy its flaws.
-
http traffic queries are delivered at the request of the remote server of the website in a form of plain text, which means that the security isn't the best one: lots of sensitive information such as your passwords as well as credit card numbers could be easily seen by anyone, and we certainly do not want that from a proxy.
-
HTTPS proxy utilizes an updated HTTPS protocol that protects data with the CONNECT algorithm so that nobody other than that remote server from the HTTPS website is able to view the data in the request that the client makes.
-
It is possible to use two types of protocols that could be used with an HTTPS proxy to establish the so-called TCP connection between servers and clients within the network. These protocols are known as Secure Sockets Layer (or SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
SSL and HTTP Proxies Pros as well as Cons
In the role of an HTTP user, you are able to use an HTTP proxy provider to perform the following functions:
-
Watching videos and listening to music;
-
Collecting data;
-
browsing through online stores;
-
Informational articles don't require authorisation.

-
Tout that's mentioned above
-
Purchase any product online by filling in your banking details
-
The process of logging into your social media accounts, which need authorization.
The negatives of using an HTTP client, as you could already suppose, is the fact that security of HTTP clients isn't best one, and you're unable to complete any of your personal information when applying an HTTP proxy. Regarding the cons of sending an HTTPS request, own experience suggests that the only disadvantage is related to the fact that it might be a bit more expensive to buy a web proxy to make HTTPS requests.
