Anyonymizers can be classified into protocol-specific and protocol-independent proxies. In protocol-specific anonymizers, a connection is made by the user to the anonymizer, with commands to the anonymizer included inside typical messages. The anonymizer then makes a connection to the resource specified by the inbound command and relays the message with the command stripped out. Protocol-independent anonymizers are achieved by creating a [[Tunneling protocol|network tunnel]] to an anonymizer via a protocol such as [[SOCKS]], [[Point-to-point tunneling protocol|PPTP]], or [[OpenVPN]]. For building a reliable anonymous system, anonymous proxy signatures are helpful.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last1=Wei |first1=Jiannan |last2=Yang |first2=Guomin |last3=Mu |first3=Yi |last4=Liang |first4=Kaitai |date=2015-09-28 |title=Anonymous Proxy Signature with Hierarchical Traceability: TABLE 1. |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/bxv080 |journal=The Computer Journal |volume=59 |issue=4 |pages=559–569 |doi=10.1093/comjnl/bxv080 |issn=0010-4620 |url-access=subscription}}</ref> These signatures can also be used in anonymous voting or other authentication processes that value anonymity.<ref name=":0" /> | Anyonymizers can be classified into protocol-specific and protocol-independent proxies.
