Description
Web proxy performs Internet object cache function by storing requested Internet objects, i.e., data
available via HTTP and FTP protocols on a system positioned closer to the recipient than the site
the data is originated from. Here 'closer' means increased path reliability, speed or both. Web
browsers can then use the local proxy cache to speed up access and reduce bandwidth consumption.
When setting up Web proxy, make sure it serves only your clients, and is not misused as relay.
