Question

what are proxies?

Answer 1

hello,



well.. let me put this short and simple for you.



You use a proxy for protection, when you visit a website.. you would use a proxy so the admin from that site will not be able to retrieve your IP. it's just for your privacy.



you could make a Google search and you should find some.



Good luck.

Answer 2

As the title stands, proxies are piece of software that download information on your behalf and then forward them to you.



Proxy server is used for sharing internet connection among many PCs, providing basic anonymity, controlling web access and logging internet activity.



Although gateways do a similar function, proxies are more configurable in terms of access control and logging.



A breed of software called transparent proxies provide best of both the worlds - gateways (zero configuration) and proxies (access control).

Answer 3

A proxy stands in the place for another. If you own stock in company X and need to vote on a particular issue but are not able to be at the vote, you can send in a proxy to represent your interests.
