We frequently discover columns like Address, Interface in Proxy Web Browser settings. when we use proxy to see a page, the web page is requested by the web browser from the proxy server, but how the entire mechanism works? We know that many ISP permit only access to just one IP(of their web site).

But when we enter the website which we needs to browse in proxy URL and then key in the IP that was permitted, the website get loaded…..

How Proxy Web Browser Functions?

Generally, your browser only connects to the proxy address & interface instead of whatever IP address. It then makes the internet request as per standard.

Proxies will usually also do so if another individual requests the same page with that proxy, it can simply return the preceding result caching.

Since the proxy is in complete control of the connection, it can select to route the request elsewhere, scrape request and response information, inject other things (like advertising), or block you completely.

Some internet proxies are “clear”. They live on a gateway through and use the machine’s networking stack to redirect outgoing connections to a local interface to port 80 instead.

Other proxies, like SOCKS, have a committed protocol which allows non-HTTP requests to be made too.
