Transparent Proxy
A proxy that forwards your real IP in HTTP headers. Useless for privacy — used by corporate or ISP caches.
A transparent proxy is a proxy that forwards the client’s real IP address in HTTP headers (typically X-Forwarded-For or Via). The destination sees both the proxy IP as the TCP source AND the client’s real IP from the headers.
Transparent proxies are not used for privacy, scraping, account management, or geo-bypass — they expose exactly the information those use cases need to hide. They exist for legitimate operational reasons: corporate or ISP caching layers that need to identify the original client for logging, billing, or access-control purposes.
If you are buying proxies for any privacy or commercial purpose, transparent proxies are the wrong tool. Make sure any provider you use explicitly documents elite-level anonymity.
