A web proxy is a script that allows you to access different websites through a 'gateway'. When you enter a URL into a proxy, you can view that website, but you are still technically on the proxy. With a proxy you can, in essence, visit a website without actually visiting the website.
Proxies can be used for four things:
1) To Unblock Websites - If you are at school or work, and there is a filter, you probably can't view your favorite sites like MySpace or Facebook. Using a proxy, you can circumvent those filters and get onto the website you want.
2) To Stay Anonymous - Your IP address is kind of like a tool to locate your computer. With an IP Address, somebody can find out exactly where you live. When you use a proxy, you take on the server's IP address, making you anonymous.
3) To Work as a Cache - Proxies automatically save files you view on their server, so when you revisit those sites, it will already be loaded for you - meaning faster browsing.
4) To Stay Safe and Secure - Many websites have malicious code on them that can harm your computer. You can use a proxy to remove that code, and therefore protect yourself.
