Proxy Server

Proxy Server in the E-Commerce Law

A proxy server, also known as a proxy, is a computer that acts as a gateway between a local network (e.g., all the
computers at one company or in one building) and a largerscale network such as the Internet. Proxy servers provide
increased performance and security. In some cases, they monitor employees’ use of outside resources. A proxy server
works by intercepting connections between sender and receiver. All incoming data enters through one port and is
forwarded to the rest of the network via another port. By blocking direct access between two networks, proxy servers make it much more difficult for hackers to get internal addresses and details of a private network.
