Wat is a proxy server?

Can sumbody kindly plss tell me wat is a proxy server?

  • Answer:

    As I understand, proxy servers also allow Internet Service Providers to limit the bandwidth used, since the proxy server 'caches' frequently accessed content on their internal server. So technically you aren't going to the page itself, but a recently stored version of that page saved by your ISP. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server

A proxy server is a computer that makes request on behalf of you. Think of it this way...you want to give someone a message, but you don't want that person to know it was you. So you tell a friend to go over and tell this person. Then your friend comes back with the response, you are using that friend as a "proxy".

A proxy server is, in simple terms, a system that gives you anonymity when you are using the internet so whoever you are connected to cannot retrace the connection back to you.
