3. There are also reverse proxies. They protect websites against DDoS attacks, balance server load and can hide a server's real address. Many major websites work this way.

4. The most popular reverse proxies are Cloudflare, which covers 22% of websites worldwide.

5. As you know, there are several types of proxies: HTTP (for web traffic only), SOCKS5 (works with any traffic: games, torrents, messengers), residential (real people's IP addresses), mobile (from SIM cards) and datacenter proxies.

6. Proxies are the ancestors of Tor. The well-known anonymous browser Tor is essentially a network of several nodes, each knowing only the previous and next node. And to stop nodes from reading everything, data is additionally encrypted in several layers (like an onion).

7. Proxies are divided into 4 levels: from transparent (when a website knows you're using a proxy and sees your real IP) and anonymous (which hide your IP), to those that replace the IP with a fake one and elite proxies (when the website doesn't even know you're using a proxy).

8. There are no clean IPv4 addresses left. But IPv6 has 340 undecillion addresses (2 to the 128th power), so unused IPv6 addresses will be around for a long time.

9. Proxies don't provide complete anonymity. Unfortunately, the server owner can see your traffic (and full anonymity requires encryption).

10. Apple devices have access to Apple's own double-proxy service, Private Relay, through an iCloud+ subscription.
