Detailed explanation-1: -When internet users utilize a proxy, their internet request flow through the proxy server first, and only then connects to online resources. Once a proxy server collects the response from the web servers, it passes it back to the user, ensuring enhanced levels of anonymity, as a user’s real IP address is not exposed.
Detailed explanation-2: -One way you can hide an IP is with a proxy server. A proxy reroutes your request through a proxy server, so it does not go directly from your computer to your ISP to the website. That way, the website can’t see your IP address when you connect.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
