Anonymous Proxy
A proxy that hides your real IP but identifies itself as a proxy via standard HTTP headers. Middle anonymity tier.
An anonymous proxy does not forward your real IP address, but does include HTTP headers (typically Via or X-Forwarded-For with the proxy’s own IP) that declare proxy involvement. The destination sees that the traffic comes from a proxy, but does not see who originated the request behind it.
The middle-ground positioning makes anonymous proxies awkward for most use cases. They are too revealing for privacy or stealth scraping (anti-bot systems often treat “is a proxy” as a strong signal), and they cost the same as elite proxies that hide both pieces of information.
For serious commercial use, elite proxies are the right choice. Anonymous proxies exist mostly as a category label on proxy-list directories rather than a tier with a real use case.
