Detailed explanation-1: -Where is the optimal place to have a proxy server? Proxy servers should normally be between the private network and the public network. This way they can act as a go-between for all the computers located on the private network. This applies especially to IP proxy servers but might also include HTTP proxy servers.
Detailed explanation-2: -A proxy server is a system or router that provides a gateway between users and the internet. Therefore, it helps prevent cyber attackers from entering a private network. It is a server, referred to as an “intermediary” because it goes between end-users and the web pages they visit online.
Detailed explanation-3: -FTP Proxy Server An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) proxy works as an intermediary between all traffic through the FTP protocol. FTP is a protocol used for exchanging files over the Internet and internal networks.
Detailed explanation-4: -Proxy servers act as a firewall and web filter, provide shared network connections, and cache data to speed up common requests. A good proxy server keeps users and the internal network protected from the bad stuff that lives out in the wild internet. Lastly, proxy servers can provide a high level of privacy.
