A few years ago, at my college, they installed a proxy server. It really sped things up for everyone due to the proxy cache. It might not work for a home or small office network, but it does work for large scale networks. Also, blocking facebook in an office environment, can be a boost in productivity.

[@thepanda3757]

I think that blocking Facebook or any other website whatsoever is just nuisance. People will always find a way. Whether that be a mobile network or something else. Also if any external website / service becomes an issue in productivity wise I think blocking them won't really fix the issue and the problem lies somewhere deeper in company culture.

little inaccuracy: when using a vpn, only the information between you and the vpn server is encrypted, while in the animation, it suggested that the data between you and the webserver was encrypted. A more accurate animation would be your computer, a vpn and the cloud, and a tunnel between you and the vpn and a line between the vpn and the cloud, so basically the animation at 1:23 except a tunnel between your computer and the server, and the server represents a vpn.

[@jr-yn4lk]

He states that the data between the cloud and the proxy server cant be encrypted. Is that true ? I don't see why the proxy isnt able to encrypt this data.

[@forty4seven46]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop a quick note that a proxy, similar to a VPN, can actually enable encrypted transmission. A prime example is a reverse proxy. A reverse proxy acts as an intermediary between a client (like your computer) and a server. When you connect to a website through a reverse proxy, the entire data traffic between you and the reverse proxy gets encrypted. That way, your data stays protected from potential attackers. So yeah, a proxy can totally deliver encrypted transmission, especially a reverse proxy. Just thought I'd share! 🚀

[@tcandre]

Thats incorrect. Reverse proxies or any other proxies dont encrypt connections like VPNs

Nice video, have few questions after watching: - in pros you are talking about privacy and minute later you said that with activity logging basicly everything is being monitored so how can it both private and monitored in same time? - you also said that it gives privacy but later you said that it does not encrypt data so everything can be traced by hacker/gov ? So does it make sense to go for proxy server as private user? Or private person should only go for vpn? Thank you in advance for response

[@davidruiz3859]

"in pros you are talking about privacy and minute later you said that with activity logging basically everything is being monitored so how can it both private and monitored in same time" answer: private as the website only sees the proxy servers public ip not your computers or device that's using proxy to see the website. Proxy has ability to monitor what websites you used and for how long etc which is how companies see if employees are on Facebook all day. Proxy hides your public ip and sends out theirs and has ability to do activity logging. "you also said that it gives privacy but later you said that it does not encrypt data so everything can be traced by hacker/gov" answer: again proxy hides your public device ip with its own so website etc thinks its the proxy checking it out not you and by encryption means that data can be captured by middle man and seen with plaintext as its not encrypted. So does it make sense to go for proxy server as private user? Or private person should only go for vpn? VPN, Proxy server are good for companies or large organizations for help speed look ups of websites since proxy saves cache of websites and also has activity logging.

[@commanderdreg]

a note about proxy servers, you make a bunch of comments about how proxy servers are faster and use less bandwidth (around 2:30) but you don't make a comparison to anything, you only say its faster. Fastar than what? its not faster than regular browsing, regular web server already does all these things. Webservers only involve two transactions along bandwidth, (a request to the server and receiving the page) whereas a proxy server must ocationaly make an additional request to the webserver refreshing its cahsed page. Furthermore the proxy server must look up the website in its database, therefore directly requesting from a web server will always be faster, even if only by a handful of clock cycles

[@brierepooc8987]

Well, he did explain it, Proxy Servers are caching data, making web searches fast without YOU hogging and using a lot of bandwidth from usage. The proxy server saves the results of all requests for a certain amount of time. Then in lieu depending on the one you use can also act as a load balancer.
