The Web Proxy Auto-Discovery (WPAD) Protocol is a method used by clients to locate the URL of a configuration file using DHCP and/or DNS discovery methods. Once detection and download of the configuration file is complete, it can be executed to determine the proxy for a specified URL.
Caching of proxy auto-configuration results by domain name in Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5.5 or newer limits the flexibility of the PAC standard. In effect, you can choose the proxy based on the domain name, but not on the path of the URL. Alternatively, you need to disable caching of proxy auto-configuration results by editing the registry.

However, depending on how the proxy is configured, a censor may be able to determine the pages loaded and/or determine that the user is using a proxy server. [2] For example, the mobile Opera Mini browser uses a proxy-based approach employing encryption and compression in order to speed up downloads. This has the side effect of allowing it to ...
Is there a holding page, or even a web proxy there? Find which sites are hosted on it using rDNS and Google. Nmap will almost always say that port 80 is open on webservers, but this does not necessarily mean there is an open proxy there. Or does it look like an HTTP/SOCKS proxy? Such proxy IPs are always associated with a port number. The most ...
The client is now being proxied to the remote host. Any data sent to the proxy server is now forwarded, unmodified, to the remote host [3] and the client can communicate using any protocol accepted by the remote host. In the example below, the client is starting SSH communications, as hinted at by the port number in the initial CONNECT request.
The general format of the field is: [2] X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2 where the value is a comma+space separated list of IP addresses, the left-most being the original client, and each successive proxy that passed the request adding the IP address where it received the request from.
However, most servers, clients, and proxy software impose some limits for practical and security reasons. For example, the Apache 2.3 server by default limits the size of each field to 8,190 bytes, and there can be at most 100 header fields in a single request. [10]
In computer programming, the proxy pattern is a software design pattern. A proxy , in its most general form, is a class functioning as an interface to something else. The proxy could interface to anything: a network connection, a large object in memory, a file, or some other resource that is expensive or impossible to duplicate.
