Key Benefits of Using a Proxy Server

Introduction
Proxy servers are machines that act as
intermediaries to guide the internet traffic to a
computer. They filter or authenticate the content
the client seeks to access, before granting the
request. Any info you send or receive goes
through a proxy server first. There are 3 types

Secure and Private Browsing
A proxy server conceals the internal clients from
the external network. As the proxy server is in
the vanguard, your identity is hidden. This means
you are protected from spam and hacker attacks.

Caching
This feature reduces your bandwidth use. When
proxy servers cache data, work is speeded up. For
example, lets suppose User A has opened site
xyz, and it takes 12 seconds for it to load. When
User B tries to access the same site, the server
will give him the cached page which means it will
take hardly 5-6 seconds for the site to load.

Admin
This is very useful for large businesses, where
several users are trying to access the Internet
through one proxy server. The administrator can
easily set firewalls and block sites for all
users.

Most websites use geo-location technology to
ensure that users are directed to content that is
most relevant to them. This is done by
determining the user location and directing them
to the relevant page.

Access geo-blocked Websites
Proxy servers also help you access some sites
that are geo-blocked. All you need to do to get
around the proxy is to set your browser to use
proxy server.
