In computer networking, what is the primary function performed by a proxy server on a network?
To establish direct point-to-point connections
To provide additional storage for network data
To increase the speed of the internet connection
To serve as an intermediary between clients and other servers
A proxy server acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources on other servers. By receiving the client's request, forwarding it to the destination server, and returning the response, the proxy can also provide caching, content filtering, and IP address masking for privacy and security.
