What Is Proxy Server ?

Proxy Server is a server (a computer system or an application program) that services the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.

In this post i have also mentioned a word anonymous proxies.Basically there are some type of proxy servers.

• Anonymous
• Transparent
• Elite

The most secure proxy servers are anonymous proxies because they hide your identity and  they requests the service on behalf of the client.So your IP will never be shown to the website you are browsing.

You can use anonymous proxies to unlocked blocked websites at work or college.The process of using proxy is too simple.

There are two types of proxies which you can use to unlock websites.

1) Webbased Proxies.
