What is Web Proxies?

A web proxy acts as an intermediary between a client (e.g., a web browser) and a server (e.g., a website). When a client makes a request, it is first sent to the proxy server, which then forwards the request to the destination server. The response from the server is then routed back through the proxy to the client. Web proxies are commonly used for various purposes, including: enhancing security and privacy (by masking the client's IP address), bypassing geographical restrictions, content filtering, improving performance (by caching frequently accessed content), and monitoring internet usage.
