|
Forward Proxy, often called proxy server is a server that sits in front of a group of **client machines**. When those computers make requests to sites and services on the Internet, the proxy server intercepts those requests and then communicates with web servers on behalf of those clients, like a middleman. |

**Common Uses:** |
|
|
|
- To block access to certain content |
|
- To protect client identity online |
|
- To provide restricted internet to organizations |
