Overview

What Are HTTP Proxies?

HTTP proxies act as intermediaries between your system and the web.
Instead of connecting directly to a website, your requests are routed through a proxy server that forwards them on your behalf.

This approach allows you to manage how requests are sent and distributed, improving control over access patterns and performance.

Most HTTP proxies also support HTTPS, which means requests to secure websites are encrypted using SSL/TLS. You access HTTPS websites through HTTP proxies while maintaining secure, end-to-end communication.

// http-proxy.examplecURL
# Standard HTTP request through proxy
curl --proxy "http://proxy.proxyscrape.com:8080" \
    "https://api.example.com/data"

# Request encrypted via SSL/TLS tunnel
