Proxy Server
An intermediary server that processes requests between a user's browser and a destination server, improving security, privacy, and content delivery.
A proxy server sits between your device and the internet, acting as a middle layer that processes requests on your behalf. When you visit a website, the proxy forwards your request, retrieves the data, and sends it back to you while keeping your real IP address hidden. This improves privacy, enhances security, and sometimes speeds up browsing through cached content. Businesses use proxies to filter traffic, manage access, or prevent direct attacks on internal systems, but they're also helpful for controlling bandwidth use and monitoring network activity. A well-configured proxy adds a valuable layer of safety and efficiency to online operations.
