Proxy Server: Server placed in between Client and Internet.
Before forwarding response back to the client, it can filter them to ensure they are safe to receive.
Network Security:
Any request need to be passed through Proxy Server and real IP of the client is not shown. Instead Proxy Server provides its own logical IP address to the Web Server. So any hacker is unable to hack Client as IP is made unavailable.
Network Performance Improvement:
Proxy Server has a cache, so if any client looking for updates then for first time the Proxy will download from internet and saves in the cache. For subsequent client requires the same updates instead of downloading from internet it provides from Cache. Thus, provides congestion free.
Monitor User in the Network:
Block Website: A network admin can block a particular website.
Access Control: Block Facebook and set rule to bypass for particular users.
