By using proxy servers in schools and at workplaces, the concept of content filtration would prevail which is quite useful for keeping the students and employees from going to ‘questionable websites’ and viewing forbidden videos or from engaging in ‘non-productive’ activities like connecting with their friends on social networking sites or from playing online games. Thus it is understandable as to why people would want to use proxy servers for professional settings.
Another reason as to why people choose to use proxy servers is to remain anonymous on the Internet. In this way they can protect their identity by masking the Internet Protocol or IP addresses of their computers. One can also communicate through numerous proxies or identities if the scope of work so demands.
One’s own identity is a very unique and important information which can always be misused by others especially cyber criminals. It may also lead to accessing one’s own data through one’s own identity in the internet. Thus having a proxy server is worth giving a thought as it has many advantages especially the feature of hiding the IP address.
