OPEN PROXY SERVERS

A proxy server is a server used to make connections with other network services. It was created by the European Center of Nuclear Research in 1994. In the beginning it has been created to link local networks to the Internet. Today it gives us the guarantee of anonymity and filtration; caching, which is an intermediate memory that helps the main process to be faster; the security of the local network.

So the main risk is that the user’s request can be altered.

Companies often use caching in proxy servers to reduce the load on their networks
