Proxy servers actually handle outbound requests from users, the transaction of the page requested is between the proxy server and the web server rather than the user. They also cache pages, and deliver cached content to the internal network. Proxy servers also keep records of all pages accessed and by whom. This information is used by IT departments to detect and report Internet usage abuses by users.
