<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>
