Proxy servers are used to intercept and change the destination of requests from a client, usually to a different server. They are commonly used in the context of the Internet, where they are used to allow a user to browse the Internet anonymously.

Some proxy servers are configured to act as a transparent proxy, while others are configured to act as a traffic shaper or traffic filter. Proxy servers can be used to improve the speed and accessibility of a particular website or to hide the identity of the user.
