&lt;div&gt;The Functions of a Proxy Server&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A server is a combination of one or several software and hardware designed to provide networking service to clients. Individually, it could also make reference to any software or dedicated hardware accustomed to provide such service or any system that is managing a server operating system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A proxy server could therefore certainly be a firewall mechanism that substitutes the IP address of the protected host network with a temporary address for all data traffic passing through it. It can make decisions to authenticate the user or client IP address' permission to gain access to the network and establishes connection to any remote computer with respect to the user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In essence, it's a computer that acts as an interface or intermediary for connecting two or more computers that have different protocols and therefore are placed at various remote locations on the internet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whenever a user (computer) attempts to connect with another user to consider any resources such as files, web pages, connections, etc on their database, it is the proxy server that evaluates if such connection is permitted based on the existing settings around the remote computer. Once the proxy server authenticates these the weather is met, it then helps make the request with respect to the consumer and establishes the connection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The proxy server may either modify either the request or response of the user or client or, respond to a request without contacting the server. It will this by using cached similar responses stored on the remote server the resources are being requested from.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another functions include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. It reduces time needed to access resources from servers by serving cached responses for similar request to clients.&lt;br /&gt;
2. It serves a log to provide info on internet usage for auditing or evaluation purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
3. It may be used to over-ride security or parental control&lt;br /&gt;
4. It enables access to regionally restricted resources&lt;br /&gt;
5. It hides its clients for anonymous browsing and security&lt;br /&gt;
6. It could be used to block use of unwanted or unauthorised sites&lt;br /&gt;
7. It serves as a scan to filter malware before delivering requested resources&lt;br /&gt;
8. It serves as a scan to block certain outgoing data. To protected files&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As it is a middleman that acts on behalf of two or more users or clients, a proxy server can be placed anywhere in-between you or at destination servers on the internet for it for everyone its functions.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
