Proxy servers are also known as proxies. These servers are used in home networks, corporate intranets or by Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

The Internet proxy server is the server that is situated between the client application and an actual server. The Internet proxy server has the role of intercepting every request to the actual server and see if the request can be fulfilled by it. If that is not possible, then it must forward the request to the other server. Anonymous proxy servers allow users to freely surf the web, while keeping their IP address hidden.
