Proxy server
Proxy server
Properties:
- Central access points to the Internet
- Suitable for large user groups
- Cache memory: data that is used frequently can be saved on the proxy server; the data
is cached. This reduces the amount of data transferred.
- Proxy servers are used as content filters. Unwanted or critical web content is blocked
by the proxy server. Content like this is placed on a blacklist.
This filter works in both directions. If a user calls up a prohibited page, the proxy
server will block the request. If unwanted adverts try to reach the user, the proxy
server will also block these.
(WiFi) router

Each appliance in the network is assigned a unique address by the router either manually
(static) or automatically (DHCP). This unique network address is called an IP address, see
Example of WiFi.
