A program which forwards [HTTP], [HTTPS] and [FTP] requests, often but not necessarily caching them. [Squid] is a widely used [Free] caching proxy server. Some [ISP]s have "transparent proxies", where all web traffic gets redirected to a proxy without any knowledge (or choice) of the users. This is because in New Zealand, all international traffic incures data charges, so if the ISP can serve you a cached copy, they can save a couple of cents per megabyte. Proxies are also frequently used in corporate networks, where [FireWall]s often block access to [the outside world|InterNet], and only proxies are allowed to communicate with it.
