#What are the differences between FTP and HTTP?

[scam-alerts]

These scams fall in line with a lot of the:

'There was an error delivering your package' <insert fake UPS/Fedex' link here>. And it's usually all from the same branch of scammers!

Several ways you can tell that these are scams are:

Noting the area code that the text comes from.

+63, if you didn't know, is the area code for the Philippines, so that right there is a big red flag that this is 100% a scam.

Pay attention to how the URL is structured in the link.

Even though it has .gov in it, it is not a .gov website.

To give you a visual of how a URL is structured, here is an image from intezer.com from their article URL Analysis 101!

This graphic is used only for educational purposes only I do not take credit for it.

As they describe in their article:

Let’s quickly describe the different parts of the URL (see fig 1):

The protocol: describes the way a browser should retrieve information from a certain web source. What matters for us here is the distinction between HTTPS and HTTP which basically differ by being secure (or encrypted) and not secure. Another protocol to transfer files is FTP. The hostname: is made of the domain name and the subdomain name. The domain name consists of the second-level domain which is the name of your website and the top-level domain which specifies the type of website it is going to be, for example, .com is intended for commercial, .edu for educational and so on. The combination of the top-level and second-level domain is the only part that is unique in the URL and we can’t stress enough how important that is. The subdomain is like a specific “zone” inside your website. For example, you might have a URL like this: “your-organization.salesforce.com” which basically says salesforce has a sub-website for your organization. The path is basically like a path on your personal computer to a specific file. It indicates what resource you want to get from the website.

If you look at the scam link, rather than the .gov being at the end, it's inside the link, so it's part of the 2nd level domain rather than the actual top-level domain.

If a url isn't fedex.com or usps.com when you get a text about your package, and if you never got an email that said there was an issue with your order?

If you never went through a toll, had issues with your bank, your twitter account, cable/TV account, or anything of the like and got a text telling you to click a link?

Ignore the text, check your email, or call the bank/company.

But never, ever, reply to the text or click the links.

----

You also see this a lot in fake emails from scammers of all kinds, especially the paypal scammers where they will send you emails from accounts like:

paypal-service###@gmail.com or paypal-admin##@gmail.com.

The biggest giveaway? It's not from a @paypal.com domain.

It's from gmail.com, meaning it's from a person, not a company.

Remember to stay safe and don't get scammed. :)

THIS IS A SCAM

This is specifically for Ohio, but applies elsewhere (I had a customer show me one they got allegedly from the Michigan DMV.):

THIS IS A SCAM.

Do not click on any links in the text or reply to it. Select “Report Junk” or whatever your phone’s equivalent is and move on.

Several ways you can tell:

1. The return phone number starts with a country code (in this case 63). Any phone number from a US source is likely to just start with the area code.

2. They mix up the use of BMV & DMV. Ohio has a BMV - Bureau of Motor Vehicles. They get the initials right at first, but call it the Department of Motor Vehicles immediately before. Then, later in the message, they call it the DMV again. (Above)

3. They try to hide the fake web address by using one that looks like it belongs to the .gov domain. [gov-tollbillr{….} .cyou.] Legitimate .gov links will end with .gov or .gov/ (examples: ohiobmv.gov or irs.gov/forms). This web address actually ends with .cyou.

4. Their own bullet point #4 makes no sense. What are they going to transfer to a toll booth? Are they going to magically send you there? And then charge you 35% to send you back? If they had that capability, they would be so rich they wouldn’t need to scam you out of your money! {They would probably be scamming you some other way.}

Moon Missions

What’s going on with the moon?

The United States recently had a solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024, and some might be surprised to learn that the moon is, in fact, affected by solar radiation. The charged particles emitted by the sun, called the solar wind, reach the moon with no interruption from its atmosphere, as it has none. It also has no global magnetic field, another layer of protection that Earth does have, in comparison.

The moon does, however, have small areas of magnetic fields. We can see this because these areas remain lighter in photos whereas chemical reactions from radiation darken the unprotected areas.

Fortunately, most of these charged particles cannot pass through the hulls of space stations, so astronauts are safe in orbit. Cosmic rays, made of stronger and faster-moving particles, are more dangerous. Even on Earth, under the atmosphere and magnetosphere, cosmic radiation reaches humans, though not enough to be considered damaging to our health.

A lander and rover launched in 2018 delivered the first measurements of radiation levels on the moon 4. Based on those data, astronauts on the moon can be exposed to up to 150 times higher radiation levels than on Earth.

Radiation is a leading reason for the pause in lunar landing missions. It raises risks of cataracts, heart diseases, radiation illness, cancer, and other ailments. Longer missions, of course, would heavily exacerbate these radiation doses.

Other Health Concerns

Cosmic rays contain High-Energy (HZE) ions. In different exposure such as from nuclear accidents or irradiation therapy, HZE ions have been found to cause dysregulation in the mitochondria and damage to DNA. Because of this, prolonged exposure is linked to health effects often associated with aging, such as hippocampus synapse loss and metabolic disruption caused by damage to mitochondrial DNA.

Long-duration space flights have also been linked to cardiovascular disorders. For astronauts on the Apollo missions, heart attack was “the second leading cause of death” 8. For additional space flights outside of Earth’s magnetosphere, astronauts also had a higher mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases.

In a previous article, we discussed the relationship between circadian rhythms and health. These rhythms are another thing that space travel can impact, causing sleep and mental health disturbances in astronauts 9.

While various studies are investigating the conditions of these health risks, a current NASA mission is specifically investigating radiation protection.

Long-term Mission

NASA plans on eventually returning to human-manned missions to the moon.

First, they have to address the issues discussed above.

In November of 2022, Artemis I launched with two manikins bearing radiation detectors. From this mission, NASA was able to confirm the success of the intended trajectory, launch of ground systems, and the Orion spacecraft. The radiation results from this mission are still being analyzed.

The Artemis missions are intended to explore more of the moon than ever before, and lay groundwork for eventual missions to Mars.

Artemis II will not launch any earlier than September of 2025. It is planned to last ten days, consist of a 4-person crew, and be a lunar flyby to ensure the proper functioning of the spacecraft’s systems.

It has seemed for years that lunar exploration has halted. Manned missions have indeed been paused, for good reasons. Ensuring the safety of astronauts is a priority, and they face serious health risks even when missions go as expected. But NASA intends to continue exploring space, the moon, and Mars. The current Artemis missions are discovering improved, new ways to ensure the safety of astronauts while making scientific progress.

Different organizations and books have different views on what defines web services. Some of these are as follows. A web service is simply an XML-based information exchange system that employs the use of the Internet for direct communication. The systems used may be in the form of programs, messages, objects, or documents. A web service is a modular, self-contained, dynamic, and distributed software which can be described, located, published, or initiated over the network to create processes, products as well as supply chains. This software can be local, web-based or distributed. A web service is usually built with the help of unfastened standards like HTTP, HTML, TCP/IP, XML, and Java. What Is A Web Service? A web service is any service which: Is accessible on the Internet Employs the use of XML encoding for transferring information Are independent of programming languages Makes use of a common language  Can be discovered through a simple mechanism The topic of web services require a lot more details that are covered in dedicated tutorials on this playlist we have compiled on Youtube. How Web Services Work Web services make communication possible through many applications by employing the use of open standards like XML, SOAP, HTML, and WSDL. They make use of: SOAP to send and receive messages. Learn more about SOAP Web Services on This YouTube tutorials Series about SOAP web services. WSDL to notify if the service is available. XML to mark the data This makes it possible for you to build Java-enabled web services on a Mac, which will be easily reached from the visual- basic program that runs on your windows. What Are the Benefits of Web Services? Making Use of Existing Functions on Networks Web services are managed codes that can be accessed and activated by making use of HTTP requests. A web service allows you to use the functionality of your code that already exists over the network. Once the function is exposed on the network, then there is a possibility of other programs making use of its functionality. Interoperability A web service makes it possible for different applications to communicate with each other and share services and data. Various software suites can also use web services. For instance, .NET or Java can communicate with a VB web services and the other way around. Web services ensure the independence of technology and application platforms. Reduced Communication Cost A web service makes use of SOAP rather than the HTTP protocol; therefore, you can employ the Internet to implement web services. This makes it much less costly when compared to other solutions such as EDI/B2B. Apart from the preference of SOAP over HTTP, it is possible to implement web services through other reliable transport mechanism such as FTP. Characteristics of Web Services Today, Web Services are independent applications that can be distributed, found, and fabricated on the Internet. Web Services offer a standard method for interoperability between various programming applications. eXtensible Markup Language (XML) gives the extensibility and dialect nonpartisanship that is the key for the interoperability of Web Services. They perform functions that can incorporate anything from basic inquiry results to complex business forms. Once a Web Service is sent, different applications can find and invoke it. At present, Web Services require human communication for recognizable proof and execution. Based on XML A web service employs the use of XML during data transportation as well as data representation. The use of XML removes the need for any operating system, networking or platform binding. This makes web services extremely interoperable applications at their core level. Loosely Tied A consumer using a web service is not tied directly to the web service. The interface of the web service can change with time without affecting the ability of the client to make use of the service. If the system were to be tightly coupled,

it means that the server logic and the client are both tied together, and a change in one requires a corresponding update on the other for smooth functioning. Using a loose system makes it easier to manage and gives room for simpler integration among various systems. Coarse-Grained Using object-oriented technologies such as C# release their services by making use of individual methods. Producing a C# program means that you have to create many fine-grained methods that are then integrated into a coarse-grained service used by a client or another service. The interfaces and the businesses that are released should be coarse-grained. Web services technology gives a natural way for coarse-grained services to apply the right amount of business logic. Supports Document Exchange Two major advantages of XML is representing data generically and also representing complex documents. These documents can be as simple as a current address and can also have the complexity of an entire book. The transparent exchange of documents is possible on web services that facilitate business integration. Technology for Web Services Service Discovery  A program should first have the capacity to naturally discover, or find, a suitable Web service. Neither one of the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) nor Universal Discovery and Description dialect (UDDI) takes into account programming to figure out what a Web service offers to the customer. Execution Software must have the capacity to consequently decide how to summon or execute the service. For instance, if executing the task is a multi-step technique, the product has to know how to collaborate to finish the vital arrangement Composition  Software must have the capacity to choose and consolidate various Web services to complete a specific goal. The services need to interoperate with each other flawlessly so that the consolidated outcomes are legitimate. Monitoring Agent programming should have the capacity to confirm and screen the services’ properties while in operation.

Understanding SOCKS5 Proxies: A Comprehensive Guide In the realm of internet security and privacy, SOCKS5 proxies stand out as a versatile and powerful tool. But what exactly is a SOCKS5 proxy, and how does it work? This article will delve into the intricacies of SOCKS5 proxies, their benefits, and their applications.To get more news about socks5, you can visit pyproxy.com official website.

What is a SOCKS5 Proxy? SOCKS5, short for Socket Secure version 5, is a protocol that routes network packets between a client and a server through a proxy server. Unlike its predecessors, SOCKS5 offers enhanced security and performance, making it a popular choice for various applications.

How Does a SOCKS5 Proxy Work? A SOCKS5 proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet. When you send a request to access a website, the request is first sent to the SOCKS5 proxy server. The proxy server then forwards the request to the web server. The web server processes the request and sends the data back to the proxy server, which then forwards it to your device. This process helps to mask your IP address, providing an additional layer of privacy and security.

Benefits of Using a SOCKS5 Proxy Using a SOCKS5 proxy offers several advantages:

Enhanced Security: SOCKS5 proxies provide a higher level of security by masking your IP address and encrypting your data. This makes it difficult for hackers to intercept your online activities. Improved Performance: SOCKS5 proxies are known for their speed and reliability. They can handle a wide range of traffic types, including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and even torrent traffic. Bypass Geo-Restrictions: SOCKS5 proxies can help you access content that is restricted in your region. By routing your traffic through a proxy server located in a different country, you can bypass geo-blocks and access the content you want. Anonymity: By masking your IP address, SOCKS5 proxies help to keep your online activities anonymous. This is particularly useful if you are concerned about privacy and want to avoid being tracked by websites and advertisers. Applications of SOCKS5 Proxies SOCKS5 proxies are used in various scenarios, including:

Online Privacy: Many users employ SOCKS5 proxies to maintain their anonymity online. By routing their traffic through a proxy server, they can hide their original IP address and avoid being tracked. Bypassing Network Restrictions: In some cases, schools, workplaces, or public networks may block access to certain websites. A SOCKS5 proxy can help you bypass these restrictions and access the content you need. Secure File Transfers: In corporate environments, SOCKS5 proxies are often used for secure file transfers. They can handle different protocols and provide a secure, authenticated connection, making them ideal for transferring sensitive data. Streaming and Gaming: SOCKS5 proxies are also popular among streamers and gamers. They can handle high-speed connections and reduce latency, providing a smoother streaming and gaming experience. How to Set Up a SOCKS5 Proxy Setting up a SOCKS5 proxy is relatively straightforward. Here are the steps to follow:

Choose a Reliable Proxy Service: There are many SOCKS5 proxy services available, both free and paid. Some popular options include ProxySite, HideMyAss, and Hide.me1. When choosing a proxy service, consider factors such as speed, reliability, and privacy features. Configure Your Device: Once you have chosen a proxy service, you will need to configure your device to use the proxy. This typically involves entering the proxy server’s IP address and port number in your device’s network settings. Detailed instructions can usually be found on the proxy service’s website. Start Browsing: After configuring your device, you can start using the SOCKS5 proxy to browse the internet. Simply open your web browser and navigate to the websites you want to access. The proxy server will route your requests, providing enhanced security and privacy. Conclusion SOCKS5 proxies are a powerful tool for enhancing online security, privacy, and performance. By acting as intermediaries between your device and the internet, they help to mask your IP address, protect your data, and provide access to restricted content. Whether you are an individual looking to safeguard your online activities or a business aiming to improve network performance, SOCKS5 proxies offer a valuable solution.

What types of network security Questions asked in Interview?

With the ever-growing dependence on computerized data, network security experts are in high demand. But before you get your dream job in your dream company, you will have to be a pro to face the interview round. This web journal post will help you understand a vital aspect of network security interview questions for freshers: The questions you might be asked. We'll find distinctive categories of network security interview questions, centring particularly on those asked from freshers ( candidates with little to no experience). 

By understanding these interview questions and brushing up on your core concepts, you will be well on your way to impressing your interviewer and securing the perfect network security job opportunity.

Network Security Basics ( Fresher Level)

Let's begin with the building blocks. These network security interview questions are for freshers to assess their skills and abilities on the basics of network security:

what could be a network? A network may be a collection of interconnected gadgets that can share assets and communicate with each other. It can be small connections of devices at your home (LAN) or a larger network just like the web (WAN).

What is the distinction between a LAN, WAN and MAN? LAN (Local Area Network) covers a small geographical range like a domestic or office. WAN (Wide Area Network) ranges a bigger range, interfacing geologically removed areas. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) Covers a particular metropolitan range, regularly interfacing numerous LANs within a city. 

What may be a convention? A convention could be a set of rules that oversees communication between gadgets on a network. Common conventions incorporate TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Convention), HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

What is the CIA triad in Network Security? CIA stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. These are the three central standards of network security:

Confidentiality: Guaranteeing as it was authorized clients can get to sensitive data.

Integrity: Ensuring information remains precise and unaltered amid transmission and capacity.

Availability: Ensuring authorized clients can access information and assets when required.

Network Security Danger and Vulnerabilities (Fresher Level)

Now, let's dig more profound into the challenges you'll confront. These questions gage your awareness of common dangers and vulnerabilities that comprise network security:

What could be a security risk? A security risk is a potential risk of misusing a vulnerable in an arrangement, causing harm.

What is the distinction between risk and vulnerabilities? A risk may be a pernicious on-screen character or occasion that can exploit a vulnerability. A vulnerability may be a weakness in a framework that can be misused by a danger.

Can you title a few common network security dangers? Cases incorporate malware (viruses, worms, and Trojan horses), phishing assaults, denial-of-service (DOS) attacks, and man-in-the-middle (MitM) assaults.

What could be a firewall? A firewall could be a security framework that can screen approaching and actively organize activity, permitting authorized activity and blocking suspicious action.

Network Security Apparatuses and Innovations (Freshers Level)

The battle against cyber dangers requires solid abilities. These questions test your recognition with basic network security tools:

What is the purpose of the antivirus computer program? They look for and prevent infections created by malware viruses and any other malicious software.

What is a VPN (Virtual Private Network)? This is a secure network communication channel established on the basis of someone's internet connections, to keep off intruders.

How is an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) different from an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)? This detail highlights that, whereas one is able to identify doubtful actions within certain networks, the other is capable of externally preventing any such moves as well.

Scenario-Based Network Security Questions (Fresher Level)

The interviewer may show speculative scenarios to check your problem-solving skills and approach to network security challenges:

You suspect a malware infection on a company computer. What steps would you take? Your answer should showcase a systematic approach, including isolating the infectious computer, running antivirus checks, reporting the incident, and potentially seeking proficient offer assistance.

A client reported website looked suspicious when attempting to get a company's assets. How would you handle this situation? To show that you know about phishing attacks, you could say something like making sure that it is legitimate before you visit or informing him of possible tricks for him not to share any important details.

Showcasing Your Interest:

Plan quick questions: Do not just reply to network security interview questions, inquire thoughtful ones approximately the company's security posture, current challenges, or future ventures. This shows veritable intrigued and initiative.

Highlight your Learning Potential: Express your eagerness to learn advanced technologies and stay updated on advancing dangers.

showcase your passion: Talk about any projects or certifications that you have dome personally in relation to network security.

What's the difference between TCP and UDP? Take you to understand network protocols in seconds!

TCP and UDP are two very important transport layer protocols in network communication. Although they are both used to transfer data in the network, their working methods and application scenarios are very different. The following is a detailed analysis of the differences between TCP and UDP, as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages.

1. Transmission

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, which means that before sending data, the two sides need to establish a reliable connection. tcp will segment the data during transmission, and each packet arrives at the target location in order. If a packet is lost during transmission, TCP automatically retransmits the packet until it is received by the target device.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

UDP is a connectionless protocol that does not establish a connection or perform packet acknowledgments. Data is sent in separate datagrams, which may not be received in the same order as sent by the receiver, and packets are not automatically retransmitted after they are lost. This makes UDP transmission more efficient but less reliable.

2. Reliability

TCP: High Reliability

TCP establishes a connection through three handshakes and uses an acknowledgement mechanism and flow control during data transmission to ensure reliable data transmission. If data is lost or an error occurs, TCP will retransmit it. This reliability makes TCP widely used in scenarios that require high-precision data transfer, such as file transfer, email services, web browsing, etc.

UDP: Less Reliable

UDP does not provide packet acknowledgement and retransmission mechanism, so the data transmission is faster but less reliable. If the network quality is not good, UDP may suffer from data loss, duplication or disorder. Therefore, UDP is mostly used in applications that require high real-time performance but lower data integrity, such as live video streaming, online games, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), etc.

3. Speed and efficiency

TCP: Slower but stable

Since TCP requires connection establishment and packet acknowledgement, the transmission speed is relatively slow. However, this slowness is exchanged for a stable and reliable transmission, which is especially suitable for applications that require complete data transmission.

UDP: Fast, but unstable

UDP has no connection establishment and confirmation mechanism, so the data transmission speed is very fast. However, because of this, it is less stable and less reliable, and is suitable for scenarios that do not require 100% accuracy of data, but require a quick response.

4. Application Scenarios

TCP: Suitable for scenarios that require reliable data transmission, such as file transfer (FTP), mail transfer (SMTP), web browsing (HTTP/HTTPS), etc.

UDP: Suitable for scenarios that require high speed and allow partial data loss, such as video streaming (live), online games, VoIP, etc.

TCP and UDP have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different application scenarios. If you are building a network application, choose the appropriate transport protocol according to the actual needs.711Proxy can provide you with high-quality proxy IP services in multiple nodes around the world, ensuring you a smooth flow in any network environment.

In an age where online privacy and security are paramount, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have emerged as indispensable tools for internet users worldwide. But what exactly is a VPN, and how does it work?

At its core, a VPN is a technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over a less secure network, typically the internet. This encrypted connection is established by routing your internet traffic through a server operated by the VPN provider. As a result, your data becomes virtually unreadable to anyone attempting to intercept it, whether it's hackers, government agencies, or even your internet service provider (ISP).

One of the primary purposes of using a VPN is to protect your online privacy. By encrypting your internet traffic and masking your IP address, a VPN shields your online activities from prying eyes. This means that your browsing history, online communications, and sensitive information remain confidential and inaccessible to third parties.

Moreover, VPNs enable users to bypass geo-restrictions and censorship. By connecting to a server in a different location, you can access content and websites that may be blocked or restricted in your current location. This is particularly useful for accessing streaming services, social media platforms, and websites that are otherwise unavailable in certain regions.

Additionally, VPNs enhance security when using public Wi-Fi networks. These networks are notorious for their vulnerability to cyber attacks and data breaches. However, by encrypting your connection, a VPN ensures that your data remains secure, even when connected to unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots.

In summary, VPNs offer a myriad of benefits, including enhanced privacy, security, and accessibility. Whether you're concerned about safeguarding your personal information or accessing restricted content, using a VPN can provide peace of mind and empower you to navigate the internet safely and freely.

Port forwarding explanation

Port forwarding is a crucial concept in networking that allows devices on a local network to communicate with services running on a remote network or the internet. Essentially, it enables incoming connections to reach a specific port or service on a device within a private local network.

Here’s how it works: When a device on the internet initiates a connection to a specific port on your router's public IP address, the router receives the connection request. However, without port forwarding configured, the router doesn't know which device on the local network should handle the incoming connection. Port forwarding solves this issue by instructing the router to forward incoming traffic on a specific port to a designated device on the local network.

For instance, if you have a web server running on a computer within your home network, you can set up port forwarding to route incoming HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) traffic to that server. This allows users from outside your network to access your website.

Port forwarding is commonly used for online gaming, remote desktop connections, file sharing, and hosting services such as websites, FTP, and email servers.

It's essential to configure port forwarding properly to ensure security and efficient network communication. Incorrectly configured port forwarding can expose your devices to security risks, such as unauthorized access or attacks.

In conclusion, port forwarding plays a vital role in enabling external access to services hosted on devices within a private network. By directing incoming traffic to the appropriate devices, it facilitates seamless communication between devices on different networks. However, it's crucial to implement port forwarding with caution to mitigate security risks.

VPN without port forwarding

A VPN without port forwarding is a solution that prioritizes privacy and security over the ability to host services or access certain applications that require port forwarding.

Port forwarding is a technique used to allow external devices to connect to specific services or applications within a private network. It's commonly used for activities like online gaming, file sharing, or running server applications. However, port forwarding can also pose security risks by exposing specific ports to potential vulnerabilities or attacks from malicious actors.

By opting for a VPN without port forwarding capabilities, users can enjoy enhanced security and anonymity while browsing the internet or accessing online services. Without port forwarding, the VPN server acts as a middleman between the user and the internet, encrypting all data traffic and hiding the user's IP address. This ensures that online activities remain private and protected from prying eyes, such as ISPs, government surveillance, or hackers.

While some users may miss the convenience of port forwarding for specific applications, the trade-off for increased privacy and security is often worth it. Additionally, there are alternative methods available for accessing certain services without port forwarding, such as utilizing VPN-compatible applications or services that don't require direct inbound connections.

Ultimately, the decision to use a VPN without port forwarding depends on individual preferences and priorities. For those who prioritize privacy and security above all else, a VPN without port forwarding can provide peace of mind knowing that their online activities are shielded from potential threats.

What is the working principle of IP proxy?

The working principle of IP proxy (or proxy server) is mainly to act as an intermediary between the client and the target server to realize the purpose of hiding the real IP address of the client, improving access speed and security. The following is the basic working principle of IP proxy.

1. Client sends a request

When a user (client) wants to access a certain website or resource, the client's request will be sent to the proxy server first, instead of directly to the target server.

2. Proxy server processes the request

After the proxy server receives the client's request, it processes the request. The processing may include the following.

a. Change IP address. The proxy server replaces the client's real IP address and sends the request to the target server using its own IP address.

b.Caching content. If the proxy server has cached the target content, it can return the cached content directly to the client without sending a request to the target server, thus improving access speed.

3. Proxy Server Forwarding Requests

The proxy server forwards the processed request to the target server. At this time, the target server thinks that the request comes from the IP address of the proxy server, not the real IP address of the client.

4. Target server response

When the target server receives the request, it processes the request and returns the response to the proxy server.

5. Proxy Server Returns Response

The proxy server receives the response from the target server and forwards the response to the client. The final content received by the client is the same as that obtained by directly accessing the target server, but the target server does not know the real IP address of the client.

The main types of proxy IPs are the following.

1. HTTP proxy

HTTP proxy specializes in handling HTTP protocol requests and is suitable for applications such as web browsing and data crawling. It can cache web pages to improve access speed and can be set up with access control and content filtering, for example, 711Proxy will provide this kind of proxy.

2. HTTPS proxy

HTTPS proxy is used to handle encrypted HTTPS requests. It secures data transmission through encrypted tunnels (SSL/TLS).

3. SOCKS5 proxy

SOCKS5 proxy is a low-level proxy that can handle multiple types of traffic (e.g. HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc.). It works at the session layer and is suitable for scenarios that require high anonymity and flexibility.

By understanding how IP proxies work and their application scenarios, users and organizations can better select and use proxy services to meet different needs.
