What is Web Proxy?

A web proxy acts as an intermediary between a client (e.g., your web browser) and a server (e.g., a website). When you request a webpage, your request goes to the proxy server first, which then forwards the request to the destination server. The response from the server goes back to the proxy, which then forwards it to you. Web proxies are commonly used for various purposes, including: improving security (by hiding your IP address), content filtering (blocking access to certain websites), caching (improving performance by storing frequently accessed content), and bypassing geographical restrictions.
