Understand Proxy Server
Demonstration of Proxy Server
- The
client
makes a request to access a website (e.g., www.example.com).
- The request is sent to the
proxy server
instead of directly to the website.
- The
proxy server
intercepts the request and may perform various actions:
- Check cache: The proxy server might have a local cache of frequently accessed websites. If the requested website is in the cache, the proxy server delivers the cached content directly to the client, improving performance.
- Forward request: If the website is not cached, the proxy server forwards the request to the destination server on the client's behalf.
- The
destination server
processes the request and sends the response back to the proxy server
.
- The proxy server receives the response from the destination server.
- Security checks: The proxy server may perform security checks on the response content before forwarding it to the client.
- Content filtering: Depending on its configuration, the proxy server might filter specific content from the response based on pre-defined rules.
- The
proxy server
forwards the response (website content) to the client
.
- The
client
receives the response and displays the requested website content.
Benefits of Proxy Server:
- Security: Proxy servers can help mask the client's IP address, offering some anonymity online.
- Performance: Caching frequently accessed content can improve loading times for websites.
- Content filtering: Organizations can use proxy servers to filter inappropriate content for employees.
- Access control: Proxy servers can be used to manage user access to certain websites.
