<p>Many organizations block access from the Internet to their networks.
This prevents outside parties from gaining access to sensitive
information. The protection is called a firewall.</p>
<p>If your organization has a firewall, the browser may need to go through
a proxy server before connecting you to the Internet. The proxy server
prevents outsiders from breaking into your organization's private
network.</p>
<p>Your organization or internet service provider may offer or require you
to use a proxy. A proxy acts as an intermediary between your computer and
the Internet. It intercepts all requests to the Internet to see if it can
fulfill the request using its cache. Proxies are used to improve
performance, filter requests, and hide your computer from the Internet to
improve security. Proxies are often part of a corporate firewall.</p>
