What is a Proxy server?

A proxy server is a computer system or router that functions as a relay between client and server. It helps prevent an attacker from invading a private network and is one of several tools used to build a firewall. The word proxy means "to act on behalf of another," and a proxy server acts on behalf of the user.
 
An SEO proxy server is a regular proxy server used for SEO purposes. In other words, it will enable you to analyze your competition, crawl the web, etc. by hiding your true IP address and thus preventing your target website server from recognizing your activity as suspicious.
 
A proxy server is a dedicated computer or a software system running on a computer that acts as an intermediary between an endpoint device, such as a computer, and another server from which a user or client is requesting a service. The proxy server may exist in the same machine as a firewall server or it may be on a separate server, which forwards requests through the firewall.
