Increased speed - because proxy servers can cache material, a request can be served from the cache instead of retrieving the Web page through the Internet. Reduced costs - a proxy server can reduce the amount of bandwidth usage because of the cache. Improved management - a proxy server can block specific Web pages and/or entire Web sites. Some proxy servers can block entire categories of Web sites such as entertainment, pornography, or gaming sites. Stronger security - acting as the intermediary, a proxy server can protect clients from malware by intercepting it before it reaches the client. In addition, a proxy server can hide the IP address of client systems inside the secure network. Only the proxy server's IP address is used on the open Internet.

Write the source code needed to manage the associations, including class, field, and method declarations, method bodies, and visibility.
