Proxy Server

Proxy Servers are used by large companies and it a server that every networked computer must pass through before gaining Internet access. Using a proxy server improves the Internet connection and as it caches web pages they don't have to reload so the process is faster. Another use of a proxy server is restricting access from networked computers onto certain Internet sites, these are usually those with questionable content.
