What is open proxy IP address?

I don't understand ? Can someone explain to me what this is all about? I don't want to know how to use the proxies, I just want to know what is the point of using them? Open proxy is a free and anonymous proxy, that is you can go to it anonymously and you can also access other sites through it. What is open proxy IP address? You have to know that there are two types of proxies (for websites) : Private Proxy. Open Proxy. Most of the proxies are private. When you use a private proxy (you will be on a secure site) it will ask your browser to add cookies to identify you. In some cases, for some reason, you can't change the list of cookies. For example, a website asks you to login before you can access its content. But the website has added some cookies to identify you and if you go to a private proxy, they will be added too. When you will leave the website, your cookies will be removed.

When you use an open proxy (you are on a open website) you can access the website without using cookies. They are not in your computer, they are on the server of the website. But to use them you have to add cookies to identify you. You can create cookies in a private proxy but it's not recommended. Because you could be charged with a crime by the website if they discover that you have been using their service.

It's like if you were going to visit a website but you need to get a certain kind of cookie before you can use the website. So you get that cookie from another website (the open proxy), then you go to the website and use it. But the website doesn't see that you have a cookie. You're just visiting the website.

But with an open proxy, you get all cookies and when you leave, all cookies will be deleted. Another thing is that an open proxy (you are on a website) can tell when you log in or out. And a private proxy can't do this because they will be asked for cookies to log in.

How do I get rid of an open proxy?

It depends on the proxy. The most common form of open proxies is a "web proxy", which may have been used to browse the web anonymously or to circumvent a school firewall. A web proxy generally intercepts all web requests and presents a different set of web pages than what the user would have gotten without the proxy.

Some other proxy types are more complex. If you're running a network proxy, you might see a list of computers on your network, and your system logs their activity. (This is usually done by adding an entry to /var/log/syslog.) That would be a network proxy.

Some proxy services are actually just a network service that acts as a gateway between the client computer and a remote computer. For example, you might use BitTorrent to download a large file from a remote host. The downloader would connect to a proxy that is running on your computer, and the proxy would tell the remote host that the client's IP address is the IP address of your computer.
