HTTP Proxy

An HTTP proxy is an intermediary server that sits between your device and the internet. When you request a webpage, the proxy forwards that request to the target server, retrieves the data, and then sends it back to you. This can help enhance privacy, as your direct connection to the website is hidden, and can improve security by filtering out harmful content. Additionally, proxies can cache frequently accessed content, speeding up load times for users. Essentially, they act as a gateway, managing and redirecting web traffic for various benefits.
