An HTTPS proxy is an intermediary server that sits between your computer and the internet.

When you use an HTTPS proxy to visit a secure site like Google.com, the proxy uses a method called HTTP CONNECT.

Instead of reading your data, the proxy simply opens a "pipe" or a tunnel between you and the destination. Because the traffic is encrypted end-to-end via SSL/TLS, the proxy server cannot see the actual content of your request, it only knows which IP address you are trying to reach.

Why use an HTTPS Proxy?

• Security & Anonymity: It hides your actual IP address from the destination website.
• Firewall Bypassing: In corporate environments, proxies are often the only way to "get out" to the internet.
• Content Filtering: Companies use them to block specific sites or log where employees are going.
• Caching: Some proxies save copies of popular websites to speed up loading times for everyone on the network.
