--- End quote ---

dont have the full def. i guess but wt i know is::

it filters the requests and it improves the performance

Coco:
It controls the aspects of a computer
eg; printer server
inertnet server

angell:
A proxy server is a computer setup to share a resource, usually an Internet connection.

Other computers can request a web page via the proxy server. The proxy server will then get the page using its Internet connection, and pass it back to the computer who asked for it.

Proxy servers are often used instead of router since additional software can be easily installed on the computer such as anti-virus, web filtering etc.

angell:
Illegally copying software is often referred to as software piracy.

If you make a copy of a game for a friend, get the latest version of Windows from a dodgy shop, or ‘borrow’ some software from work, you are probably breaking the law.

When someone creates an original piece of software, that person then holds something called the copyright for that software. (This is also true when people create books, films and songs.)

Holding the copyright for software means that you have the protection of the law if anyone tries to steal your software.

Under copyright law, people must not:
•   Copy the software for other people
•   Lend the software to other people
•   Rent the software to other people
•   Install the software on a network when other users can access it (unless it is a special ‘network’ version)
If someone breaks the copyright, they can be punished by fines or even by imprisonment.

The reason for this is that creating software can involve the work of many people and may take thousands of hours. It is only fair that all of this effort is protected
