In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.
Proxy servers allow you to use another web server as a gateway to the Internet. Some business networks use a proxy server to funnel traffic through the gateway. It gives the administrator control over bandwidth usage, and inappropriate websites can be blocked. Proxy server settings are found in the web browser settings.
