A proxy can be used for anonymous web surfing. After all, the connection is made through an intermediate server. And all the sites visited by the user will see the IP address of the proxy server, not the user himself. It can also be used to access resources that are only available to the citizens of a particular country.
A web proxy is a web application that is installed on a web server. It acts as an intermediary for downloading certain content from various websites. The user gets the opportunity, thanks to the web proxy, to remain anonymous while downloading all kinds of web resources. Web proxies are good for such tasks as speeding up the loading of websites, providing anonymous access to websites, bypassing restrictions and gaining access to closed websites.
Technically, a proxy is an ordinary computer or server connected to a network (local or Internet). It accepts traffic from the user, redirects it to the address that was specified in the request. And then receives the response from the server and transmits it to the user's equipment. That is, it is actually an intermediary.
It depends on the purpose for which you plan to work with proxies at all. Personally, one is enough for myself. But if you plan to do massive parsing, it may not be enough to have 100 pieces.
There are HTTP proxy, FTP proxy, SOCKS proxy, SMTP proxy, CGI proxy. They differ only in the data transmission protocol used and the purpose for which they are used. For example, SMTP proxy allows you to organize a secure server for e-mail.
