Can someone explain to me wth a proxy server is, I have a basic understanding of networks but the idea of a proxy server is not drilling into my brain
In: 1
Instead of calling your friend from your phone, you call a another phone that forwards the call to your friend. So your friend sees the proxys phone number.
English is not my mother language, so I don’t know the word for it, but Google told me: Chinese whispers
It works kind of like that
Edit:
„A proxy server is a bridge between you and the rest of the internet. Normally, when you use your browser to surf the internet, you connect directly to the website you’re visiting. Proxies communicate with websites on your behalf.“
