HTTP proxy is a common network proxy method that has different application values in different scenarios.

There are multiple advantages in network requests, mainly including the following:

Improving security and privacy protection: By requesting through a proxy server, the client's real IP address will not be directly seen by the target server, which helps protect user privacy and prevent IP address abuse.

Encryption communication: Proxy servers support encrypted communication, such as using HTTPS, to ensure the security of requests and responses during transmission.

Content filtering and access control: Proxy servers filter request content as needed to prevent access to malicious websites or malicious content. Administrators can set access rules to restrict specific users or user groups from accessing specific resources or services.

Load balancing and traffic optimization: When multiple clients request the same resource, the proxy server can distribute the requests to multiple backend servers to achieve load balancing, improve system throughput and response speed. Proxy servers can also cache frequently accessed resources and provide responses directly from the cache for duplicate requests, reducing network bandwidth consumption.

Network monitoring and logging: Proxy servers can record all network requests and responses that pass through them, which is very useful for monitoring network traffic, analyzing user behavior, debugging issues, and meeting compliance requirements. By analyzing the logs of proxy servers, administrators can understand the usage of the network, identify potential security threats, and take corresponding measures.

Improving network stability: Proxy servers act as a buffer layer for network requests. When the target server fails or the network is unstable, the proxy server may still be able to provide some cached responses or attempt to reconnect, thereby improving the reliability of network requests.
