Proxy

Proxy – an intermediate server. Proxy intermediates the exchange of information between the user and the destination server. It does not reveal the identity of the user (it hides the IP address). The proxy operates outside the user’s local network, ensuring that the user’s identity is hidden on the Internet. Using a proxy, it is the intermediate server that sends the request to open the page on behalf of the user, without leaving any trace of the user. A proxy also allows stored web pages to be kept in memory – so they can take less time to open, thus increasing the performance of the computer. Proxy will work well for people who, for example, want to bypass geographical blocking (some portals block access of users from specific countries, Proxy allows you to bypass these filters). There are 3 main types of proxy servers: 1. Fully Anonymous Proxy (the target site treats the proxy as a regular user), Anonymous Proxy (the IP address is hidden, but information about the use of the Proxy to connect to the site is transmitted) and Transparent Proxy (transparent – the connection to the site transmits the user’s visible IP address. This type is treated only as a cache).
