Proxy servers are used to conceal the identity of a user browsing the internet. While this use of a proxy server is not illegal, it is often used to bypass web filters that are designed to keep children safe.

It is also used by people who want to conceal their true location.

While using a proxy server to bypass web filters is not illegal, using one to conceal your true location is. This is because many countries have lAWS that prohibit the use of proxy servers to hide your location.

In some cases, this use of a proxy server can be considered a form of cybercrime.
