Proxy server allows for user privacy by enabling anonymous site visits. The proxy server can be a dedicated computer or a software system running on a computer. It can act as an intermediary between an endpoint device, such as a computer, and another server from which a user or client is requesting a service. This leads to an increase in user response time because the proxy server knows how frequently Internet sites are visited.
