### Proxy Type

[](#proxy-type)

TypeDescriptionAnonymityVPNAnonymizing VPN services. These services offer users a publicly accessible VPN for the purpose of hiding their IP address.HighTORTor Exit Nodes. The Tor Project is an open network used by those who wish to maintain anonymity.HighDCHHosting Provider, Data Center or Content Delivery Network. Since hosting providers and data centers can serve to provide anonymity, the Anonymous IP database flags IP addresses associated with them.LowPUBPublic Proxies. These are services which make connection requests on a user's behalf. Proxy server software can be configured by the administrator to listen on some specified port. These differ from VPNs in that the proxies usually have limited functions compare to VPNs.HighWEBWeb Proxies. These are web services which make web requests on a user's behalf. These differ from VPNs or Public Proxies in that they are simple web-based proxies rather than operating at the IP address and other ports level.HighSESSearch Engine Robots. These are services which perform crawling or scraping to a website, such as, the search engine spider or bots engine.LowRESResidential proxies. These services offer users proxy connections through residential ISP with or without consents of peers to share their idle resources. Only available with PX10 - PX12MediumCPNConsumer Privacy Network: These services ensure encrypted traffic from the user's browser by routing internet requests through relays, concealing the IP address, location, and browsing activity. Only available with PX11 & PX12LowEPNEnterprise Private Network: Services like SASE or SD-WAN combine network security functions with wide-area networking (WAN) capabilities to meet the secure remote access needs of organizations. Only available with PX11 & PX12LowAICAI Crawler. Specifically identifies IP addresses used by artificial intelligence companies to crawl the web for LLM training data or real-time retrieval (RAG). Only available with PX12Low### Usage Type
