School Proxy Games

A proxy is a website designed to get past a web content filter and let people play games in settings where it might otherwise be blocked. Unfortunately, most of the websites which would be fun to check out are all blocked by the school servers. This is what a proxy is for, it's a type of server which pretends to be a real website while letting you surf freely. Read more: School Proxy Games

What a Proxy site Does

• A proxy server is essentially a portal, letting you look through the proxy to find web content you actually want to see. So if your server blocks a website like Kongregate because it has online games, a proxy would let you play games on the site. A proxy is a legal tool, as this content is not blocked when you're at home. They're most often used to sneak around corporate and educational web filters, useful because some filters are oversensitive. Most proxy sites include a web address field, into which you can type the site address you want to visit.
  

Legitimate Uses

• The web filter on your network may be smart, but it still isn't as discerning as a human user could be. Sometimes it just takes a couple of words to block a website which is either completely innocent, or even useful to your work. For example, a project related to video gaming would probably need information about games, which would likely trip a server-side filter. A proxy server would allow you to get that information for your project without tripping the filter.
