Anonymous Proxies are typically used to circumvent security policies, allowing users to access prohibited recreational, adult or other non-business sites by tunneling this traffic over a regular or encrypted HTTP session. Anonymous Proxies also provide anonymity - users accessing websites through an Anonymous Proxy cannot easily be traced back to their original IP.
Exinda appliances have built-in support for Anonymous Proxy detection. The Exinda appliance receives daily updates from www.exinda.com containing updated Anonymous Proxy definitions, much like anti-virus applications receive daily threat updates.
