proxy servers
Digital traffic relayers
Proxy servers are intermediary computers that handle requests between users and the internet.
When you connect through a proxy, your traffic passes through that server first, masking your IP address and location.
Organizations use proxies to filter content, cache frequently accessed pages, or bypass geographic restrictions.
The company's proxy server blocks social media sites during work hours.
