\"Anonymous\n<\/picture>\n

When building apps that involve scraping<\/a>, downloading data and automation<\/a>, staying completely anonymous can be a huge concern for developers. Although there are many di\ufb00erent proxy checkers out there, most of them all seem to deliver slightly di\ufb00erent and unreliable results.<\/p>\n

This guide will walk you through the three steps and provide a clean PHP code to detect exactly how anonymous a specific proxy is<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>What are the Different Levels of Proxy Anonymity?<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span>Elite<\/a> (High-Anonymous<\/a>)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Your proxy is completely undetectable and your real IP will remain hidden. The server you connect to will have no idea you\u2019re using a proxy. These are the best proxies you will find and the level of anonymity and quality is unprecedented.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Anonymous<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

Although your proxy IP is still hidden while connected to an anonymous proxy, some servers and proxy detection scripts will be able to detect that you\u2019re using a proxy. Although these proxies are still useful for whitehat practices and data mining, your original IP still has a slight chance of exposure.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Transparent<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

Your original IP will be exposed and everyone will know you\u2019re using a proxy. It is extremely risky and highly recommended to avoid using transparent proxies while trying to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
