How to Setup Your Own Proxy Server For Free

A proxy server is an intermediary system that routes your internet traffic through a separate server before it reaches the destination website. It helps mask your IP address, manage network traffic, and improve privacy and access control.

Why Use a Proxy Server:

• Enhanced Privacy: Hides your real IP address from websites
• Bypass Restrictions: Access geo-blocked or restricted content
• Traffic Control: Monitor and manage network usage
• Basic Security Layer: Adds an extra layer between users and the web
