A proxy server is a type of relay system.

Imagine 2 people trying to speak to one another, but they don’t share the same language. The proxy is the interpreter. Person A asks the proxy to ask person B their question.

Person B responds to the interpreter, the interpreter then responds to person A.

Using a proxy helps prevent cyber attacks and adds a layer of security between users and the gateway(to the outside world/internet).
