Proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.
Common uses case are:
- Monitoring and filtering
- Content-control software usually based on different options:
- User authentication
- Risk scoring
- Filtering of encrypted data
- Bypassing filters and censorship
- Logging and eavesdropping
- Content-control software usually based on different options:
- Improving performance by caching content
Squid- Reverse proxy:
Nginx Varnishtinyproxy, do not support cache.- Load balancer
- Symantec proxySG and Advanced Secure Gateway (ASG)
Activities[edit]
- Use
ncatas a basic http proxy server. - Evaluate free open source proxy servers, such us Squid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_proxy_servers and commercial ones like Symantec ASG (Advanced Secure Gateway)[1]
