Proxy anonymity levels refer to the degree to which a proxy server can hide your identity.
There are three levels:
Transparent Proxy : This proxy doesn't hide your IP address. The website can see who you are. This is the fastest proxy type. Used for bypassing firewall and download content.
Anonymous Proxy : This proxy hides your IP address, but the website knows that you're using a proxy. This proxy type is good for increasing rate limits.
Elite Proxy : This proxy hides your IP address and also hide the fact that you're using a proxy. The website won't be able to see anything about you. This is the best proxy type for online shopping or accessing geo-restricted content.
Proxy anonymity levels are important for privacy and security reasons. It's important to choose the appropriate type based on your needs.
