1. Transparent.
these proxies are not anonymous. They, first, let a web server know that there is used a proxy server and, secondly, “give away” an IP-address of a client. The task of such proxies, as a rule, is information caching and/or support of Internet access for several computers via single connection.
2. Anonymous (hides your IP but identifies itself as a proxy)
these proxy servers let a remote computer (web-server) know, that there is used a proxy, however, they do not pass an IP-address of a client.
3. High Anonymous (hides your IP and doesn’t identify itself as a proxy)
they do not send your IP-address to a remote computer. Also, they do not inform that there is used any proxy server! So, a web-server “thinks” that it works directly with a client.So private proxy service use this type of proxies.
