What is the most important benefit of a proxy server?

What will be an ideal response?


Perhaps the most important benefit of a proxy server is its ability to conceal internal clients from external clients who try to gain access to the internal network. Rather than connecting directly to internal hosts, external clients see a single machine-the one that hosts the proxy server software.  This concealment of the internal network is useful to you because if external users cannot detect hosts on your internal network, they cannot initiate direct attacks against those hosts.
