Term of the Day
"Proxy Server"
The proxy server acts as a mediator server isolating users from the
sites they peruse. When users send a web request (through a browser like
Chrome or Firefox) and the server which is serving users requests (IIS Web
Server or Apache Tomcat etc), the request first goes to
the proxy server then makes the web request on the user's behalf, collects the
response from the webserver, and forwards the web page data so the user's can see
the page in their browser.
