An HTTP Proxy is typically used by corporate networks to ensure employees are using their PCs in line with corporate computer-use policies. [http://www.squid-cache.org/ Squid] is highly recommended as a proxy able to perform not only the usual access control and content-caching tasks but also offering IPv4 and IPv6 interworking between single and dual-stack clients and web-sites. For further details please read my [http://ipv6.chappell-family.com/docs/IPv6_Squid_v01.pdf IPv6 Squid Proxy article.]

Please do NOT attempt to test hosts which are located behind HTTP proxies. Such proxies are very common in both corporate environments and on commercially-operated free wifi networks. The landing page for IPscan attempts to detect the common headers which such proxies insert, but it cannot detect truly transparent proxies. An HTTP Proxy is typically used by corporate networks to ensure employees are using their PCs in line with corporate computer-use policies. If you are interested in deploying your own HTTP proxy then [http://www.squid-cache.org/ Squid] is highly recommended as a proxy able to perform not only the usual access control and content-caching tasks but also offering IPv4 and IPv6 inter-working between single and dual-stack clients and web-sites.
