Proxy Server

A proxy server acts as a go-between for clients seeking services and servers that provide them. The
proxy server filters client requests and if the requests conform to the proxy server's filtering rules,
grants the request and allows the connection.
A proxy server has two main purposes:
• Keeps any devices behind it anonymous for security purposes.
• Decreases the amount of time needed to access a resource by caching content, such as Web
pages from a Web server.
In CentreWare IS, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols > Proxy Server.
