Proxy connection: what is it and why do you need it?
Can we shift to first-name terms? The conversation is quite serious, so we don’t want to be distracted by formalities. You probably want to know what a proxy connection is and why does humanity and you personally need it for? Well, that’s a good aspiration, we second that. So let’s get straight to the specifics: a proxy server (which is exactly what is directly related to the concept of proxy technology) is a computer/machine that is an intermediary between your computer and the Internet. The server can be located anywhere: from the next room to another continent, it does not matter. Connection is established through a network, local or global.
Simply put, a proxy server allows you to use the Internet on its behalf. This means that the IP address and the computer’s name identifying you as a user in the Internet will be hidden. Accept it as a given, as an indestructible fact that defines the whole essence of what we will talk about further. And why is it needed and how to use it in life, you will find out now.
