| Server sits between a Web browser, and a real server is a proxy server. A proxy server connects to, responds to, and receives traffic from the Internet, acting on behalf of the client computer.

| A little I know about them is that, you can hide your identity(IP) with them. In an office or college network they are very famous(really the dearest friends of staffs and students!), since we can access banned social networking, video sharing and other such entertainment sites on the network. | |

| Proxy servers sit between you and your internet connection, often caching or filtering the content as it makes its way from server to you. | |

| A proxy server is a computer that sits between a client and a server to intercept requests. There are several uses of a proxy server, but the most common is to speed network traffic by caching pages or files that are requested often. By doing so, the proxy server can deliver the request quickly, only polling the server when required. In this way, a proxy server not only speeds up network traffic, but also relieves server load. Major Internet hubs and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) employ dozens of proxy servers. | |

| Basic concept of a proxy server is to use another IP and hide the real IP on a network. | |

| A proxy server is a server that retrieves Web pages for you, providing only its own identity to the sites it visits. Requesting data comes first to the proxy, and through the requested proxy, the data is transmitted to you.

| A proxy server is a kind of stand in for your computer.All proxies are the same and all can be easily detected and blocked.This provides a nearby cache of Web pages and files available on remote Web servers,allowing local network clients to access them more quickly or reliably. | |

| A server that sits between a client application, such as a Web browser, and a real server. It intercepts all requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. Proxy servers can also be used to filter requests sometimes a company might use a proxy server to prevent its employees from accessing a specific set of Web sites.

| A proxy Server is a server that caches web pages so they load faster for you. A proxy server can also have rules about which sites are allowed to be displayed to the end user. | |
