How to Use Anonymous Proxies
Proxy servers are designed to make communications requests on behalf of another computer. For example, when an anonymous proxy server is configured on the computer, the Internet server receiving the request for data is unaware of the original client computer making the request, because the request is passed from the client computer to the proxy server. It is the proxy server that makes the request on behalf of the client computer. You can configure the computer to use an anonymous proxy server with every connection request to the Internet.
