What exactly is a proxy server and how does it work?
Well A “proxy server” is instrumental in displaying the blocked website. How does it help in a
blocked site scenario is when you type a URL / web address into your browser the network
goes about checking the address entered with those of the banned ones for eg say http://
www.youtube.com. Conversely, the web address of the proxy server website is perhaps not
blocked, in which case network allows the traffic to go through from there. Which means
simply put the proxy server plays the role of being a transfer point wherein your workplace
computer isn’t going to the banned website but your computer is going to another computer
that is going to the website which is how a proxy server works. Also the proxy websites allow
you to access the websites anonymously by withhelding your identity for eg your IP address,
country or browser and operating system info is not disclosed. This is exactly the reason that the anonymous proxies are quite popular.
