Description: Proxy server works as intermediate server to send the requests to main servers on Internet on behalf of other computers, so that can hide the identity of actual requester or user using internet. It is like a middleone that works between the user's computer and the server.
When the user sends a request from the computer to proxy server, then the proxy server will communicate with the web server and then return the web page information back to the user’s computer, so that the user’s computer IP can be hidd and prevent unauthorized access to user's computer through the Internet. This kind of proxy server is also called anonymous proxy server.And these are mostly used these days.The net effect of this action is that the remote computer hosting the Web page never comes into direct contact with anything on your home network.
A proxy server is used primarily for firewall tunneling and/or anonymous surfing. This video discusses some of these uses and also the dangers from using a proxy server.
