Anonymity levels

• Level 1: No anonymity; remote host knows your IP and knows you are using proxy.
• Level 4: Low anonymity; remote host does not know your IP, but it knows you are using proxy.
• Level 8: Medium anonymity; remote host knows you are using proxy, and thinks it knows your IP, but this is not yours (this is usually a multihomed proxy which shows its inbound interface as REMOTE_ADDR for a target host).
• Level 16: High anonymity; remote host does not know your IP and has no direct proof of proxy usage (proxy-connection family header strings). If such hosts do not send additional header strings it may be considered as high-anonymous. If a high-anonymous proxy supports keep-alive you can consider it to be extremely-anonymous. However, such a host is highly possible to be a honey-pot.

Planet Lab / CoDeeN

PlanetLab proxy servers marked with a icon are from the Planetlab CoDeeN (CDN) Project, a network of educational Internet nodes at Princeton University. These proxies may force a captcha and allocate you a different IP address as advertised.
