What is a proxy server?
Proxies are store-and-forward caches. When you
configure your web browser to use a proxy, it never connects
to the URL. Instead, it always connects to the proxy server,
and asks it to get the URL for you. Proxies can be used as a
sort of firewall, because it isolates you from connecting to
the Internet.
What are the advantages of using a proxy server?
An advantage of using a proxy server is that
its cache can serve all users. If one or more Internet sites
are frequently requested, these are likely to be in the proxy's
cache, which will improve user response time. There are different
types of proxy servers with different features, some are anonymous
proxies, which are used to hide your real IP address and some
are used to filter sites, which contain material that may be
unsuitable for people to view. When you connect to a web site,
your true IP address will not be shown, but the proxy servers
IP will.
So why should you use a proxy?
You can use a proxy server if you have a child
and wish to restrict the sites they are viewing, you will need
to make sure you get the correct type of proxy because not all
proxies filter sites. You can use it to protect yourself, it
can be used to hide your IP which is useful because it means
hackers can not get info about you when using it. They will only
get the proxy servers IP. Proxy servers are not hard to set up,
no hardware or software is needed, you just need to configure
your browser to connect through it.
