An HTTP proxy accepts requests from a browser or scraper and sends them on its own behalf; HTTPS traffic passes through a CONNECT tunnel and stays encrypted. It is the most compatible type: every browser, anti-detect browser, SEO tool, cloud service and programming language understands it.
ProxyFarm addresses run in elite mode: they add no Via, X-Forwarded-For or X-Proxy-ID headers, so the site learns neither about the proxy nor about your real address. Every address also serves SOCKS5 on the same port.
HTTPS proxy pricing

HTTP proxy anonymity levels
| Level | What the site sees | Where it is found |
|---|---|---|
| Transparent | your real IP in X-Forwarded-For | corporate gateways, free lists |
| Anonymous | the fact of a proxy via Via, but not your IP | cheap public proxies |
| Elite | only the proxy address, like a regular user | every ProxyFarm address |
You can verify the anonymity level on the My IP page: it shows the headers the site receives.
Where HTTPS proxies are used
- Browsers and anti-detect browsers. Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin Anty, AdsPower, Octo, Multilogin: an HTTP proxy is set up in one click.
- SEO services. Key Collector, Topvisor, Rush Analytics and Serpstat require HTTP proxies with authentication for rank tracking.
- Scrapers. A-Parser, Scrapy, requests, Octoparse: HTTP proxies are supported everywhere.
- Marketplaces and CRM. Seller dashboards, analytics extensions, price monitoring.
HTTP vs HTTPS proxy: what is the difference
It is the same proxy. Requests to http:// sites are handled as a regular HTTP proxy; requests to https:// are tunnelled through CONNECT without decryption. There is no need to buy a separate “HTTPS proxy”: any of our HTTP addresses works with secure sites. If your software requires SOCKS5, switch the protocol in its settings: the address and port stay the same. See the protocol comparison on the SOCKS5 proxies page.
How to connect
- Choose an address type and pay in the dashboard.
- Copy the ip:port:login:password line.
- In your browser or program select HTTP or HTTPS and paste the address and port.
- Enter the login and password, or add your IP to the whitelist in the dashboard.
- Open the My IP page and make sure the address has changed.
FAQ
Does the proxy work with HTTPS sites?
Yes. HTTPS traffic passes through a CONNECT tunnel, encryption is preserved and the site opens as usual.
Are the proxies anonymous?
Yes, elite level: no Via or X-Forwarded-For headers are added, the site sees only the proxy address.
Can I switch to SOCKS5?
Yes, the same address and port accept SOCKS5. Just change the type in your program's settings.
Are they suitable for Key Collector and Topvisor?
Yes, that is the main use case for dedicated Russian IPv4: regional addresses reduce captcha frequency when collecting search results.
