How to Open Blocked Websites
- In computer networking, a proxy server may be a server application or appliance that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from servers that provide those resources.
- A proxy server thus functions on behalf of the client when requesting service, potentially masking truth origin of the request to the resource server.
- Instead of connecting on to a server which will fulfill a requested resource, like a file or website for instance , the client directs the request to the proxy server, which evaluates the request and performs the specified network transactions.
- This is a way to simplify or control the complexity of the request, or provide additional benefits like load balancing, privacy, or security. Proxies were devised to feature structure and encapsulation to distributed systems.
Types
- A proxy server may reside on the user's local computer, or at any point between the user's computer and destination servers on the web .
- A proxy server that passes unmodified requests and responses is typically called a gateway or sometimes a tunneling proxy. A forward proxy is an Internet-facing proxy wont to retrieve data from a good range of sources (in most cases anywhere on the Internet).
- A reverse proxy is typically an internal-facing proxy used as a front-end to regulate and protect access to a server on a personal network. A reverse proxy commonly also performs tasks like load-balancing, authentication, decryption and caching.
Security
- A proxy can keep the interior network structure of a corporation secret by using network address translation, which may help the safety of the interior network.
- This makes requests from machines and users on the local network anonymous. Proxies also can be combined with firewalls.
- An incorrectly configured proxy can provide access to a network otherwise isolated from the web .
