Before going into details of advantages and disadvantages of the proxy server let’s know what a proxy server is and what its features are.

Basically proxy server plays an intermediary between the client computer and the server computer. The clients usually take the help of proxy server for requesting any files, any web pages or any other resources. The proxy server acts as an identification shield between the server and the client machine.

The main and foremost feature of a proxy server is to act as a security protector device between the client computers and the server computers. To understand the fact clearly let’s give an example. Suppose “A” is the client computer, “B” is the server computer and “C” is the proxy server. Then when “A” requests or sends something to “B” directly, “B” can identify “A” as the sender of that request and can collect much information of “A”. But if “A” at first connect to “C” (i.e. a proxy server) and then request or sends something to “B” via “C”, then “B” can only able to collect information from “C”. In that way “A” can able to protect and hide its personal information to “B” by taking the help of “C”. Please check the following images to understand it more clearly:
