When traveling outside of the U.S. overseas travelers will not have access to the U.S. television programs that they are used to watching. The networks block users based on their IP location.

When military personnel are on base accessing the Internet, their IP address can tell a person that they are in the military which is unsafe for them. By routing through an anonymous proxy their military location will not be revealed. They can also use the anonymous proxy for when they are stationed overseas to watch U.S. television.

Marketing professionals need to monitor how their competition is marketing, but they need to do this without their competition knowing. Some companies will even re-route their competition's surfing to a fake page so their competitor doesn't really know what they are marketing. With an anonymous proxy, their competitor will never even know they are monitoring them and their competitors can't reroute them to a fake page. Marketing professionals also like to self-promote their company but would prefer it be anonymously under an assumed identity, possible with an anonymous proxy.

Sporting events are blacked out in local areas and the networks base that block on the users IP location. By using an anonymous proxy, sporting enthusiasts can get around those blocks.

HotSpots are generally unsecured WiFi networks where anyone with the right tools can hack a persons personal information and logins. Besides changing their IP address, proxy server offer encryption of their Internet communications while they are surfing in these HotSpots.

Types of Proxy Servers

• Transparent proxy servers identify themselves as a proxy server and also makes the original IP address available through the http headers. These are generally used for their ability to cache websites and do not effectively provide any anonymity to those who use them. However, the use of a transparent proxy will get you around simple IP bans. They are transparent in the terms that your IP address is exposed, not transparent in the terms that you do not know that you are using it (your system is not specifically configured to use it.) This type of proxy server does not hide your IP address.
• Anonymous proxy servers identify themselves as a proxy server, but does not make the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but provides reasonable anonymity for most users. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
• Distorting proxy servers identify themselves as a proxy server, but make an incorrect original IP address available through the hypertext transfer protocol headers. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
• High anonymity proxy servers do not identify themselves as a proxy server and does not make available the original IP address. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
