Proxy Server
A proxy server is an intermediary server between your PC and a web-resource.
Thus, when a proxy is used, a request from your PC goes to a proxy server where it’s processed, and then it reaches the required web-resource.
Respectively, the web-server response will go to a proxy first, and then it will reach your PC.
Proxies are used for a number of reasons such as to filter web content, to go around restrictions such as parental blocks, to screen downloads and uploads and to provide anonymity when surfing the internet.
