Explanation

anonymous proxy is a type of proxy that hides the user's IP address and other identifying information from the web servers they access. An anonymous proxy acts as an intermediary between the user and the internet, and it modifies the HTTP headers to prevent the web servers from tracking the user's location, browser, or device. An anonymous proxy can help the user bypass geo-restrictions, censorship, and online surveillance. However, an anonymous proxy does not encrypt the user's traffic, and it may still leak some information to the proxy provider or other third parties. An anonymous proxy is the type of proxy employed by Mary in the above scenario, as she used a proxy tool that makes her online activity untraceable.
