Proxy+Servers

Introduction
A proxy server is a computer (or software program) which sits between a client computer and server. Proxy servers can have a range of functions, but from an internet safety perspective, a proxy server can do three main jobs:

1. Hide the local network structure from the outside world 2. Keep a client's online presence anonymous 3. Filter specific URLs
