My DIY research is getting conflicting reports from varying sources.

One source insists that an rDNS trace will tell you every computer between you and the client that accessed you, as far back as the ISP, and that internet anonymity relies primarily on jurisdictional barriers to search warrants against the ISP.

Another source claims that a proxy is effectively an untouchable source of anonymity. That rDNS will only provide the proxy's IP, and that it is otherwise impossible to trace which proxy user accessed your system.

What is truth? What is lies?

The bottom line is you truly are traceable no matter what you hide behind rDNS trace is effective in finding people behind proxies but the crossing between servers usually require permission from a server owner or a warrant to access information transfer in between servers. All proxies are different some proxies mask you IP and don't keep a record of incoming travel, some proxies mask IP and record your IP, some proxies simply use there server for you to travel on but really don't mask your IP. There are several systems of trying to remain anonymous all of which have there strengths and weaknesses. I have a link which I need to find which should provide you all the information your looking for on web anonymity but its a secure tor page so your going to have to give me some time to find it.

Here's the rDNS concept very well explained:

If someone is using a proxy that isn't very broken, you can trace him up to the proxy and no further. The proxy's owner can trace the next part of the route, IF he's willing; this is where jurisdictional issues play a role,
since commanding a proxy owner to cooperate is much easier if he lives in the same country as you.

BTW OP Tor is having some problems locating the page but here is the URL if you wish to access it. http://g7pz322wcy6jnn4r.onion/opensource/polyfront/internetoverlayanalysis.html

sorry, but that looks sketchy as hell

So, if I understand correctly, securing guaranteed anonymity is as easy as finding a proxy that deletes it's own log files regarding IP traffic?

Not that I have the slightest intention of doing so, but to further my understanding- would it technically be possible to trace an IP further simply by hacking the proxy and obtaining any logs it may keep?

Yes, it certainly would, and not just "technically" either. You get the logs, you have everything you need - which is why the police subpoena logs all the time.

But if it deletes or does not keep those logs, then all is lost?

Yes and No you can never really be sure with proxies sometimes they say they do its all up to the operator of the proxy. Proxies are the sketchy and should be mixed with some other method of cloaking such as Tor, I2P,Tunneling,OPP, VPN servers,A4proxy, etc
