Intercepting Proxy

An intercepting proxy is a type of computer system that sits between a user's device and the internet to monitor, filter, or modify the data exchanged. It acts as a gatekeeper, capturing the communication passing through it to analyze or control the information for purposes such as security, performance, or content filtering. This process helps organizations detect threats, enforce policies, or troubleshoot issues, all while the data is in transit. Think of it as a security checkpoint that inspects and manages the flow of information between your device and the online world.
