This document discusses different types of proxy servers and provides information about HTTP proxy servers and the proxy server software Proxyfire. It defines a proxy server as a server that acts as an intermediary between clients and real servers. There are four main types of proxy servers: FTP, HTTP, SOCKS, and SSL. Proxyfire is a proxy server checker that can detect different proxy types like HTTP, SOCKS, and anonymous proxies and classify them. It works by examining inbound traffic rather than just outbound traffic.

outbound traffic, this deals with inbound
traffic…
