What is a Proxy Server?

A proxy server is a server that sits between a client application (like your web browser or email client) and a real server (like the web page you are trying to access). It intercepts all requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server. One of the most common uses of a proxy server is to filter requests - Many companies use proxy servers to keep their employees from viewing web pages that do not relate to their jobs.
