Proxy Server
A proxy server acts as a go-between for clients seeking services and servers that provide them. The proxy
server filters client requests and if the requests meet the proxy server filtering rules, it grants the request
and allows the connection.
A proxy server has two main purposes:
•
To keep any devices behind it anonymous for security purposes.
•
To cache content from resources, such as Web pages from a Web server, to increase resource access
time.
