As a concept, a "proxy" is a layer of obfuscation to mask your browsing history. The only one I have any experience with is Megaproxy which was used at this place I worked eleven years ago by people who hated their jobs and were always searching for jobs online. Those individuals didn't want the router recording monster.com, for example, so they went to Megaproxy to go to monster.com and the router would just see megaproxy.com in the history. Basically, and you can try for yourself, you go to Megaproxy and then it will ask you for a URL and it will reach out that URL and sort of display what is at that other site in its own site. (Some formatting gets lost.) It's like a browser nested in a web site. As you click on links you to do not navigate to other sites but instead what would be at the other locales is scrapped in too. I guess under the hood, Megaproxy is scrapping the other location and doctoring up the HTML to remove stuff it doesn't like and to rewrite hyperlinks appropriately. Of course, if the man is watching you with a keylogger he will still know that your darkest workplace secrets. You've been trolling for vaporwave haven't you? Naughty.
