| A
proxy is a computer
server or software program that is part of the
gateway server or
another computer that separates a local network from outside
networks. A proxy server will generally cache
all pages accessed through the network allowing users who may wish
to visit that same page to load it faster and reduce the networks
bandwidth. When a page is accessed that
is not in the proxy server's cache, the proxy server will access the
page using its own IP address, cache the page,
and forward it to the user accessing that page. Users who wish to setup a proxy at
home or home office to be used to share an Internet connection VIA
modem or other Internet connection may wish to consider any of the
below software products.
If you're looking for a Internet proxy to help keep your browsing
