A proxy server acts as a gateway between users and the Internet.
Many times any website is blocked in your school or office. If you want to open that website then it will not open normally. Although through the proxy server, you can operate any blocked website. It is a system or router, which acts as a gateway between users and the Internet. Proxy means taking the place of someone else or acting on behalf of someone else. In the same way, the proxy server acts like a middleman between you and the internet.
How proxy server works
Proxy servers are used to access block websites or prevent cyber attacks on private networks. When you open a blocked website through a proxy server, your identity (IP address) is hidden on the Internet and an IP address is shown on which that website is not blocked. In this way, the proxy server creates a bypass connection between you and the internet server. In such a situation, the website does not know who is accessing it from where.
