What is a proxy server?

A proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) + that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources + from 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 and the proxy server evaluates the request as a + way to simplify and control its complexity.
