Remote proxy servers: how the technology works

Proxying through remotely hosted servers is a common technique for anonymizing traffic. Its essence lies in embedding an additional node between the client and the target host - a proxy server - which can operate in different modes, depending on the settings of the software installed on it.

The main advantage of using proxy servers is to achieve anonymity, which in turn allows you to implement various scenarios for using them to bypass protection and restrictions from both sites and web resources.

One of the most common examples is parsing - the automated collection of publicly available information for the purpose of its subsequent analysis. For example, you need to collect information about the cost and availability of certain items of goods from competitors’ sites in order to build the most effective sales strategy.

Websites, as a rule, are equipped with security and block IP addresses; if multiple requests of the same type pass through them, it will not be possible to parse the information. The solution to the problem will be private proxies - they will allow you to access the site from different IP addresses and create the appearance of regular customer traffic to the web resource.

Of course, this is just a single example of the use of proxy servers; in reality there are many more of them, and they can be useful not only for work, but also for ordinary network users to bypass blocking.

Today you don’t need to configure and maintain remote proxy servers yourself; there are a large number of ready-made solution providers. Using the example of one of the reliable modern providers of high-quality proxies, we will consider the offers and rental procedure.

Proxy-solutions.net is a platform that offers its clients a large selection of remote proxy servers and related services. The website is the key channel of communication with clients, but there are also additional ones:

• chat bot for Viber - created specifically for those who spend most of their time in this messenger;
• chat bot for Telegram - will be convenient for clients developing their projects in this messenger.

It is worth noting that these are full-fledged solutions that allow you to select, purchase and administer purchased goods.

The platform provides services and related tools. To use the service, just select the desired tile with a description and click “Buy” - a window will open with detailed information and the opportunity to place an order. Pre-registration is not required, your personal account will be registered automatically, and an individual access code will be sent by email to the email specified when placing an order.

The service offers several diverse proxy servers configured for different tasks:

• personal proxies - a typical inexpensive type of proxying; you can save even more if you immediately buy a proxy package by choosing the “batch proxy” service;
• prime proxy - servers with IP addresses of Internet providers, intended for issuing to ordinary users;
• city proxy - they are distinguished by the ability to specify the geographical location of the data center with the server, selecting it from possible options in a specific country.

For clients who need to proxy traffic with support for non-standard data transfer protocols, there are special services: UDP proxy and MultiProtocol proxy.

Users who need the highest level of anonymity and flexibility of settings can buy a mobile proxy - they use dynamic IP addresses of mobile operators. It is nearly impossible to track and separate requests made through these IP addresses from those of regular visitors accessing the site on a handheld device, which makes them very effective.

For payment, you can use bank cards from different countries, electronic money, popular payment services, and cryptocurrencies. The service does not charge a commission, but payment providers may do so. Purchased services immediately appear in your personal account - a section of the website accessible only to the client.

Using your personal account, you can not only manage services, but also integrate them into your own projects by integrating via API. You can also integrate additional tools presented on the platform, for example, “Proxy Checker” - a service for evaluating proxy servers based on many characteristics: connection type, degree of anonymity, location, speed. The results of the check, as well as the proxy lists themselves, can be received in the following formats: xls, json, csv and txt. The site also has other tools that make it easier to interact with proxies, making it faster and more productive.
