Anonymity levels
ProxyMaid automatically categories the proxies it find in three different levels, based on the level of anonymity the proxy offer.
- High: are the elite proxies that hide your real ip address and do not insert any revealing headers
- Low: are proxies that do hide your real ip address, but add header fields that may reveal that you are using a proxy. Most websites will not do any test for this, but some might
- None: are proxies that reveal your real ip address
