Open proxy
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. With an open proxy, however, any user on the Internet can use this forwarding service.
