je blo to ok?

ce smo cisto natancni proxy NI firewall, ceprav veliko firewallov vkljucuje funkciojo proxija.

Proxy je nekako middle man, ki sprejme zahtevo od uporabnikovega racunalnika in potem za njega dobi recimo web stran. Proxy potem lahko to stran shrani in ko naslednji racunalnik zahteva to stran jo vzame kar iz cacha.

A function that is often combined with a firewall is a proxy server. The proxy server is used to access Web pages by the other computers. When another computer requests a Web page, it is retrieved by the proxy server and then sent to the requesting computer. The net effect of this action is that the remote computer hosting the Web page never comes into direct contact with anything on your home network, other than the proxy server.
Proxy servers can also make your Internet access work more efficiently. If you access a page on a Web site, it is cached (stored) on the proxy server. This means that the next time you go back to that page, it normally doesn't have to load again from the Web site. Instead it loads instantaneously from the proxy server.

There are times that you may want remote users to have access to items on your network. Some examples are:

Web site
Online business
FTP download and upload area
