Key Concepts Explained

The animation illustrates the following key concepts:

1. Request Flow: How client requests are routed through a proxy to reach the destination server
2. IP Masking: How proxy servers hide the client's real IP address
3. Response Handling: How responses travel back through the proxy to the client
4. Core Benefits:
   • Anonymity and privacy
   • Access control and content filtering
   • Performance improvements through caching
   • Geographic restriction bypass
