What is a proxy?
  • Proxy is a substitution, stand-in, that acts as an intermediary for request. 

Lets move on to types of protocol and what are they.
  • HTTP
  • HTTPS

HTTP are the one we sees them as HTTP://.
[font=Lato, sans-serif]You roughly get the idea for HTTP but now lets move on to HTTPS. [/font]
[font=Lato, sans-serif]HTTPS sites will only work with proxies that are SSL supported. So it can validate the SSL and have access to it. [/font]


[font=Lato, sans-serif]Let's move on further to types of proxy.[/font]
[font=Lato, sans-serif]HTTP Elite - It contains all type of HTTP proxies with anonymity like transparent/anonymous/elite  & some includes TCP tunnel based proxy to access HTTPS sites without even validating  SSL.[/font]
[font=Lato, sans-serif]SSL(Secure Sockets Layer) - HTTPS Accessible[/font]
[font=Lato, sans-serif]SOCKS4/5 - SOCKS4 / SOCKS5 both belong to SOCKS protocol. It is the concrete supportive application that distinguishes them. SOCKS4 only supports TCP application, while SOCKS5 supports TCP and UDP application.[/font]

[font=Lato, sans-serif]There are the main types of proxies.[/font]

[font=Lato, sans-serif]It depends on what type of sites you looking to crack. If the site starts with HTTP:// then you should use HTTP Elite/Anonymous proxies, socks4/5 would work too. [/font]

[font=Lato, sans-serif]If with HTTPS:// then use a SSL proxies or HTTP Elite as some are TCP tunnel based proxy.

[/font]


What you learn from here are things like type of proxies you should use to get better results, let's re-analyze again.

HTTP Sites ( HTTP:// ) - Use normal scrapped HTTP Proxies, Elite/Anonymous level. ( Try not to use Transparent )
HTTPS Sites ( HTTPS:// ) - Use SSL supported, Socks 5/4, HTTP proxies could be able to if they are TCP tunnel based.



Thanks for reading.
