What is a proxy server

The word “proxy server” is widely known, but not all Internet users know what it is, what it is for and how to use it.
To put it simply, a proxy server is a remote computer that mediates between a user and the Internet. Incoming/outgoing requests you send go through the “connection link” – the proxy server, which can change your computer identification data: country, region, your IP-address.

What a proxy server is used for

As a rule, a proxy server is used by people who solve various important tasks on the Internet, but it can also be useful for ordinary people. Here are a few cases:
– Bypassing fines on Internet resources (freelance exchange, forum, game portals and so on). If for some reason your AI was banned and blocked, having a proxy will help you to re-register at these sites and you can continue to work, play and communicate without problems.
– Restriction of access to Internet resources on the basis of region. Often you can see a message on such portals “viewing this program is prohibited to show in your region”. In this case, a proxy can help you bypass the restriction.
– Writing reviews on specialized portals.
– Preserving complete anonymity if necessary.
– Internet acceleration.
