A proxy server may reside on the user's local computer, or at any point between the user's computer and destination servers on the Internet.A proxy server that passes unmodified requests and responses is usually called a gateway or sometimes a tunneling proxy.
Once closed, the IP address should be unblocked. To maintain project security, administrators reviewing blocks involving open proxies should not unblock the IP address or range in question unless they are sure that there is no longer a functioning open proxy at that location.
An open proxy forwarding requests from and to anywhere on the Internet. An open proxy is a type of proxy server that is accessible by any Internet user.. Generally, a proxy server only allows users within a network group (i.e. a closed proxy) to store and forward Internet services such as DNS or web pages to reduce and control the bandwidth used by the group.
An anonymizer or an anonymous proxy is a tool that attempts to make activity on the Internet untraceable. It is a proxy server computer that acts as an intermediary and privacy shield between a client computer and the rest of the Internet.

Virtual private network (VPN) is a network architecture for virtually extending a private network (i.e. any computer network which is not the public Internet) across one or multiple other networks which are either untrusted (as they are not controlled by the entity aiming to implement the VPN) or need to be isolated (thus making the lower network invisible or not directly usable).
Example scenario: A client on the Internet (cloud on the left) makes a request to a reverse proxy server (red oval in the middle).The proxy inspects the request, determines that it is valid and that it does not have the requested resource in its own cache.
Unix-like operating systems commonly implement IP address blocking using a TCP wrapper, configured by host access control files /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow.. Both companies and schools offering remote user access use Linux programs such as DenyHosts or Fail2ban for protection from unauthorized access while allowing permitted remote access.
