FAQs
Want to know more about proxy servers?
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients who need resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests information, such as files. Then, the proxy server evaluates and simplifies the request.
Unlike a typical server, a proxy server can often be a less capable machine. The CPU and memory don’t need to be any larger than the product machine. The main thing it needs is disk space.
Proxies were invented to add structure and boundaries to distributed systems.
Yes. P4 Proxy Server is free for standard users of P4. P4 Proxy is not available for P4 Cloud (formerly Helix Core Cloud).
