What is a proxy server and why is it used? What has hacking got to do with it?

• 1.Proxy means - I will do something for someone else.
• 2.Proxy Server - Provides a special type of network connection. That way, we can communicate through those servers. I will explain below how this works, but not before - one of the purposes of using a proxy server is to prevent hackers from accessing the internal network.
• 3.To understand how proxy servers work - check out this image from Wikipedia below: Here our request goes to 3rd computer or network. Thus, the identity of the original computer, which was originally communicating, remains secret.
• 4.Hackers use this system to hide their identities. Hackers carry out cyber attacks directly using other people's computers or some proxy services. This makes it difficult for law enforcement agencies to find out their true identities.
