Elite Proxy

A proxy that hides both your real IP and the fact that a proxy is in use. The default for any serious commercial use.

An elite proxy (sometimes called “high-anonymity” or HIA) is a proxy that does not forward the client’s real IP AND does not include headers identifying itself as a proxy. The destination sees a clean HTTP request from the proxy’s IP, with no signal that a proxy is involved.

This is the standard for commercial use. Anything less — anonymous proxies (which identify as a proxy) or transparent proxies (which leak your real IP) — flags traffic in ways that defeat most of the reasons to use a proxy in the first place.

Note that elite anonymity refers only to HTTP header hygiene. Anti-bot platforms can still identify datacenter IP ranges by ASN, fingerprint TLS handshakes, or detect bot-like request patterns — all separate detection layers from the anonymity level. All EZProxies plans are elite by default.
