Editor's Notes
Hypertext is words/ phrases/ images which upon a click or stroke from the keyboard redirects to the related page. Thus hypertext (hyperlinks) forms a sort of network of related data.
This kind of networking led to the implementation of Internet by Tim Berners Lee.
Ideal scenario would have been that all the systems be connected to the Internet directly. Any request/ response transaction involves only two entities like in the case of mobile phones where in this case the client system requests something from the server and the server responds back.
But in case of institutions or organizations where tend to block certain sites which are often found very useful to the people there there arises the need for proxy server. Like the telephone operators in olden days, proxy servers intercept the requests and finally our goal is achieved through an alternate IP address.
