Proxy server and proxy chain

Topic: Proxy Chains
So I think every Ultimate knows about Proxy Servers.
Basically,
We connect to a website like this
Our PC>>>>Website
It means we are in a direct contact with website and that website can trace us easily.
They know who downloaded data fr their website.
.
Now by using a Proxy we connect to the website like this
Our PC>>>>Proxy Server>>>>Website
So we are not in direct contact with the website.
Proxies may take records of who used their servers as a proxy.
Some proxies are honeypotted, which means government/bad guys use them to steal our information.
.
So now lets talk about Proxy Chains
When we use multiple proxies simultaneously then its called a Proxy Chain.
With a proxy chain we connect to the website ilke this
Our PC>>>Proxy server 1>>Proxy2>>Proxy3>>Proxy4>>Website
.
For example If we attacked a websites through proxchains
Then here is how the Site Admin will try to track us.
.
Website: Listen proxy4, You are Hacker and I know it, you are going to jail.
Proxy4: No, I am just a proxy server man.
Website: Oh sorry, Can you tell me who used your service?
P4: Let me check in my records...Ummm Proxy3 used my service.
He is the Hacker.
*Admin somehow manages to contact the admin of server*
Admin: So you think you can fool me with your proxy? LOL
Proxy3: No I am not a hacker, I am just a Proxy Server.
Proxy2 used my service
Admin: Really? Oh ok
.
*Admin is frustrated andcontacts Proxy2*
Proxy2: I am also a Proxy Server. I transfered the data to proxy1
*Admin contacts proxy1*
Proxy1: I am also a proxy server but I cant tell you who used my service.
Admin: Why?
Proxy1: Because someone hacked into my server and deleted my logs
Admin: Oh shit! But there must be a way to find him too. Like I reached you.
Proxy1: And what if he using another proxy chain?
*both cry in corner*
.
Ok sorry for that twisted climax 😁
Now you should know these things before getting excited:
1) Proxy Chaining is far more secure than using just one proxy. It can hide your IP well.
2) They decrease the speed of your tasks as the data have to travel a long path
3) I already mentiomed the HoneyPot part.
4) Proxy chains should be used with a VPN for 'significant' anonymity
And thats highly recommended
