Proxy's can broadcast both the proxy address and client IP address.
For example they can broadcast the IP address requesting the traffic by parsing HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR or HTTP_CLIENT_IP.
Blind or invisible proxy's will not do the above, as they pass the traffic back to the requesting address anonymously.
These kinds of proxies tend to be used by people who want to hide their public address, or bypass a network ban against their public address.
Be VERY careful when using proxies if you don't want to get caught doing something you shouldn't, as you do not know how much information that proxy you are using is logging.
