**The proxy Server is to send a request to the actual server, get it back, and then hand over the data to the user. This way, the user is prevented from sending a request to the remote server every time, significantly improving access efficiency. In addition, because the Proxy Server has a caching function, it can also reduce access to the outside world, thereby improving network security. Therefore, Proxy servers are an efficient network tool.**
