HTTP Proxy

Basic web proxies used to route Stripchat traffic through another region.

Definition​

An HTTP proxy handles HyperText Transfer Protocol traffic - it accepts requests from your browser, forwards them to the destination (e.g., stripchat.com), and relays the response back. It typically works on port 80/8080 and does not encrypt data.

Why it matters​

  • Simple bypass: Quickly route Stripchat through another country without installing VPN software.
  • Caching: Some proxies cache static assets, speeding up repeated access in high-latency regions.
  • Limited privacy: Because traffic is unencrypted, ISPs and the proxy operator can still read everything.

Tips​

  1. Use proxies that support HTTPS CONNECT tunneling so encrypted sessions stay intact.
  2. Avoid free/public proxies for sensitive accounts - they often inject ads or capture credentials.
  3. Combine browser proxies with VPNs if you need both regional access and privacy.
