A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. Functioning as a relay between client and server, proxy servers help prevent an attacker from invading a private network and are one of several tools used to build a firewall. Web proxy servers maintain log files listing every request, from outgoing traffic, made to the proxy server. |
