Proxy servers are computers used as an intermediate link in the transit download of web pages from any site to the user's PC. These servers play the role of intermediaries and allow you to solve many network problems. In particular, by logging out through a proxy, you can remain online as an anonymous user on a website or forum. You can enter through a proxy on any computer. Moreover, for this it is not necessary to change the general network settings of the OS. Proxy exit is ensured by appropriate browser settings.
