║⊕ANSWER⊕║

• Proxy servers act as a firewall and web filter, provide shared network connections, and cache data to speed up common requests.
• A good proxy server keeps users and the internal network protected from the bad stuff that lives out in the wild internet.
• When we use the proxy server, client computers will first connect to the proxy server then send a request and the proxy server first look the cache to see if the request is made previously.
• If not a fresh request is send to the internet from the proxy server (here the client will be using the internet of proxy server).
• Can be used as VPN connection while working it will help to hide the actual location and help to display the location as we prefer (It depend upon the proxy server you use to access computer).
• In short it hides the actual IP/Location which helps to surf anonymous and help to improve the security.
