Frequently asked questions

What are HTTP Proxies?

An HTTP proxy is a high-performance content filter that acts as an intermediary between your browser and the web server, making your traffic appear to come from the proxy's IP address. HTTP proxies save bandwidth by compressing traffic, caching files, and reducing ads, which is useful for companies accessing ad-heavy websites.

These proxies also allow many users to share the connection, making them ideal for large organizations. Additionally, they add security by blocking unauthorized file storage on public web servers. HTTP proxies can also function as HTTP tunnels, linking devices behind firewalls and aiding in penetration testing.

How do HTTP proxies work?

HTTP proxies intercept client requests, forward them to the target web server, and give the server's response back to the user. They manage HTTP traffic and offer anonymity, caching, and content-filtering features.

What is an HTTPS proxy?

Similarly to HTTP proxies, HTTPS handles the connection between a web browser and a server. However, HTTPS appears in the URL when an SSL certificate secures a website. This also means that an SSL proxy is another term for an HTTPS proxy.

What is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS proxies?

The main difference is the level of security. HTTP proxies only encrypt the data transmitted via the HTTP protocol. Personal information, such as login credentials, could be at risk of being intercepted by a third party. HTTP proxies are suitable for basic web browsing and can be used for caching, filtering, or content rewriting, among other purposes.

HTTPS proxies provide higher security by protecting all transmitted data with end-to-end encryption. As such, HTTPS proxies are suitable for sensitive activities such as online banking or transmitting confidential data.

You can read our article about HTTPS proxies for more information about the difference between the two.

What is the difference between HTTPS and SOCKS5 proxies?

While HTTP(S) proxies can only deal with HTTP(S) traffic, SOCKS proxies are more flexible. For example, the latest SOCKS5 protocol can handle TCP and UDP protocols, making them more versatile.

On the other hand, as SOCKS5 proxies lack standard tunnel encryption, they’re far less useful for tasks that require extra security, such as caching, content filtering, and data collection through browsers.

For a more in-depth explanation, check out our article about SOCKS5 vs HTTP proxy.

Which is more secure: HTTPS or SOCKS5?

Both proxy types can be used to increase security online, but HTTPS might be a more suitable choice. Indeed, HTTPS offers end-to-end security as it creates a secure channel between the server and the client. SOCKS5 proxies, on the other hand, do not encrypt traffic by default.

Finally, the proxy provider and the right proxy settings will also significantly impact your proxy's security. Because of this, it’s recommended to utilize premium proxies that are properly set up.

Do you offer free HTTP proxy lists?

Yes, free proxies for smaller tasks are a good idea. Just keep in mind that maintaining a quality proxy pool is expensive. Therefore, looking for a paid service provider that also offers some free proxies is the wisest approach.

Do you offer a HTTP Proxies free trial?

Yes, before you buy HTTP proxy servers, you can test them for free. To access a free trial for HTTP Proxies, find the “Contact sales” button and fill out the form. You can also contact support@oxylabs.io for extra guidance. Please bear in mind that our free trial is available only once.

What is HTTP?

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) enables file transfers over the internet, initiating communication between a client and a server. It’s essential for sending and displaying sound, video, images, and other files online.

HTTP is "stateless and connectionless" and exists in two versions: HTTP/1.0, which requires a new connection for each request, and HTTP/1.1, which can reuse connections.
