Proxy server protects your important information from getting hacked by hackers. In this presentation, we will explore the 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:
Benefits Of Using a Proxy Server • Secure and Private Browsing • Caching • Admin • Geo Location Testing • Access geo-blocked Websites
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, let’s 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.
5. 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.
