Web Proxy
An anonymous web proxy (CGI proxy, HTTP proxy) is used to get around proxy restrictions by a World Wide Web interface. World Wide Web proxies hide users personal identity from the sites they travel to, keep cookies at their internet site, and cancel them after each session and selectively get rid of JavaScript, Java, etc. The server then intercommunicates with the webpage, then communicates with visitor browser.
On an hypertext transfer protocol link, the IP address of the client machine is necessarily sent in order to receive the data back. This leaves an HTTP server to positively name the origin of the web request. An anonymous web proxy answers as an intermediate third-party in the communication to the final address HTTP server. Zero direct communication happens between the client and the destination server, thus it looks as if the HTTP request started from the intermediate proxy server. The exclusively way to retrace the link to the originating client would be to access the logs upon the anonymous web proxy (if it saves any).
Another familiar use of anonymous web proxies is to approach internet sites which are usually blocked by your upstream Internet Service Provider. For example a web proxy is frequently used by people in mainland China to access websites which have been banned by their administration.
