Geo proxies linked to foreign IP addresses are used to access sites blocked by the primary communication provider or the local network administrator.

A decent option for web surfing is shared HTTPS. Shared hosting involves connecting multiple users to a single IP. The connection speed drops, but the rental cost is lower than for individual clients.

The HTTPS protocol encrypts data transmission only if a secure certificate is provided. If the service does not support SSL, there is a risk of leaking passwords and payment details. In addition, sites track a visitor's physical address by the headers sent with requests to a remote server.

Universal "SOCKS" that work in browsers and applications are used to access the network anonymously. SOCKS4 adapts to TCP/IP protocols, connecting to any addresses or servers. When traffic is proxied, a virtual mask hides the actual IP, device model, and network attributes (operator name, DNS port). SOCKS5 uses UDP, DNS, and BIND and supports connection to domains on IPv6, login, and password authentication.

"SOCKS," compared to HTTPS, works more stable, so it is suitable for web surfing and online games, watching video content, and downloading data.

Geo-located IP addresses are used for anonymous access to online services monitoring suspicious traffic. Change of IP for each request eliminates network access blocking. Users choose dynamic proxies to test programs, collect information about competitors, and offload databases.
