  1. 1

    Direct definition

    'Elite' means the proxy hides both your address and the fact of proxying.

  2. 2

    Dedicated static residential endpoints without header leaks are the modern equivalent.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Reproducible check

    Fetch a header echo through the endpoint; no real-address header should appear.
