A transparent proxy forwards traffic without modifying it and without client-side proxy settings. Users often remain unaware their requests pass through the proxy. Common uses:
- School or corporate filtering.
- ISP-level caching.
Because transparent proxies expose your real IP, they offer zero anonymity. In contrast, Proxied supplies forward mobile proxies that fully replace your IP with genuine carrier addresses—ideal for stealth scraping and automation under heavy anti-bot scrutiny.
