A proxy server is a solution that helps you a brand to access any kind of information from any source without the fear of their identity being hidden. For instance, say you want to access information from your competitors in order to understand what their particular strategies are the first step you would do is to send a request to view their website. 

Instead of the request reaching their website, the proxy server will receive it first. The proxy server will change your IP address and then send the request. Once your competitors approve of the request sent, you can then access their information.

The reason why proxy servers change your IP address is that this address can give away your current location. For instance, now your competitors have only limited their data access on their website to certain users. If you are not a part of those set users, chances are you would either have the request denied or be blocked. The way they find out is through the IP address you hold.

What a proxy server does is it hides your IP address and showcases another IP address so when your competitors receive it, they will think that you are a part of their users and give you access. When this action is being conducted, proxy servers ensure that nowhere at any point will your identity be revealed.

With proxy servers holding such a benefit, imagine what would happen when you apply them to your current work activities. It will undoubtedly help you retrieve data that you use to enhance your current solution and sell much quicker and better to your potential prospects?
