Backconnect Proxy
What is a backconnect proxy?
A backconnect proxy is a type of proxy server that dynamically assigns users a rotating set of IPs. It ensures versatile and secure internet access, making it ideal for tasks like web scraping, data mining, and maintaining anonymity online.
How does a backconnect proxy work?
- The user sends a request through the backconnect proxy server, seeking access to a specific website or resource.
- The proxy server assigns a new IP address to the user's request, concealing the original IP address.
- The proxy server forwards the request to the target website or resource using the new IP address.
- The target website or resource returns a response to the proxy server.
- The proxy server forwards the response to the user.
- This cycle continues with each subsequent request, ensuring ongoing anonymity and security online.
