| A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing. They accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a special database, called 'cache'. Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately. The overall increase in performance may be very high. Also, proxy servers can help in cases when some owners of the Internet resources impose some restrictions on users from certain countries or geographical regions. In addition to that, among proxy servers there are so called anonymous proxy servers that hide your IP address thereby saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it. |
Thats why. |

Yeah, good info.
Doesn't it seem strange that I connect to a proxy computer in the US because my connection is slow to US-based sites, and it is fast as light? That means that my connection to the proxy computer is fast, but to web servers, it sucks.
I just find it odd that I can have a lighting bolt to one computer in the US, but not so to all others....weird. (Redundancy is my friend!)
Living in Korea, one has to keep their defences up...the script kiddies here are actually not only prolific, but are fairly adept. I learned about proxies and computer defense when I invested a lot of cash into my machine years ago...wasn't going to let some punk mess with it. |
