A device or program that stands in between a server (for example, a web
site) and a client (your browser), providing a way to relieve some of the
burden from the server. For example, your cable company may have a web
proxy that keeps copies of popular web pages; the proxy can send you those
pages instead of fetching them directly from the web site, resulting in faster
page loading and less network congestion.
