HTTP is interpreted into HyperText Transfer Protocol, and it acts as an intermediary between you, the client and the site is accessible to you.
Here is what happens when you request to access a site whenever they are served by an HTTP proxy server is active:
-
After the client sends the request to the web page they want to visit (which usually involves simply clicking on its link) this web request is not sent directly to the server for the website. Instead, it connects to an HTTP proxy first;
-
Once the request has been accepted when it is received by the HTTP proxy, it is analysed, and then the information obtained from it is used to make a new request. This is the one that is sent to the web server. It's done in order to hide the IP address of your computer so that the web server is not able to access your private data;
-
Once it is determined that the HTTP proxy server sends your HTTP request to the web server, it is processed by this server in the desired site so that a response to the user will be generated;
-
Then, you simply receive the answer of the web server that is either not allowing access to the target site or not allowing you to access the site at all.
Once all these actions are documented, it might look like there is a lot to be accomplished by the client and HTTP proxies for the requests to be made. If a good proxy server, like ProxyWOW is utilized the entire process will require milliseconds.

-
HTTPS proxy is an enhanced HTTPS protocol that encrypts data using the CONNECT technique so that no one except for that remote server from the HTTPS website will be able to read all the information contained in the requests that the client submits.
-
The protocol is one of two kinds of protocols that can be used to create the HTTPS proxy to create the TCP connection between clients and servers in the network. These are named Secure Sockets Layer (or SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
