How Proxy Software Works

Proxy server is an application or a computer system that acts as an agent or channel for requests from clients looking for resources
from other servers.

Client connects to the proxy server with a service (web, files or any other resources) and proxy server sends that request to the
server on behalf of the client.

There are many software and applications available on the internet which can be used
to setup a proxy server.

How Proxy Software Works
![Page 10: How does proxy works?](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020218/55a9f1331a28ab94418b4846/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A proxy basically tells your computer to send all requests somewhere else instead of to
your ISP.

That proxy will then decide whether or not to send you the page you requested.

So in effect, you are simply bypassing your school proxy, or bypassing your ISP
proxy and replacing it with another one.
