What is proxies?

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between a client (like a web browser) and a server (like a website). When a client makes a request, it first goes to the proxy server, which then forwards the request to the destination server. The server's response goes back through the proxy to the client. Proxies are commonly used for various purposes, including improving security by hiding the client's IP address, caching content to improve performance, bypassing geographical restrictions, filtering web content, and logging network traffic.
