A proxy IP sits between your device and the internet. Therefore, when using a proxy, you will not have direct access to the Internet, but your web requests will first be routed through the proxy before being sent to the web server. Proxy protocols are the rules that are applied during data exchange between a device and a proxy server. Common proxy protocol types include HTTP proxy and HTTPS proxy.
Many people know about HTTP proxies, and HTTPS proxies are actually a secure version of HTTP. So what are the advantages of HTTPS proxy IP?
1. HTTP is a widely used protocol that is responsible for content request and acquisition.
In the process of requesting and obtaining content, it will pass through many middlemen, browsers, router manufacturers, communication providers, etc. Such a man-in-the-middle can monitor and hijack HTTP requests. When the user makes a request, jump directly to an advertisement, or directly change the search results and insert your own advertisement.
2. HTTPS is encrypted, making all user operations more secure and protecting user interests.
However, HTTPS requires agency certification, so the cost of use is high, so the popularity rate is not high.
The above is an introduction to the advantages of HTTPS proxy IP, mainly high security. You can choose HTTPS proxy according to your own situation to make your proxy configuration more stable.
