What is a proxy server?
Is a server that sits between a client application, such as a web browser,
and a real server.
It intercepts all requests (of the client) to the real server and forwards it to
the real server, returning back the requested data to the client.

What is a web proxy server?
Its a kind of proxy server that's work directly from your web browser,
without the need of installing software or change your browser configuration.

A web proxy allows you to bypass blocked sites and surf the web anonymous
and securely without need to install any software on your computer.

- IP Hiding/Masking; your real ip will not be revealed to the sites that you
browse trough the proxy server.
- Encrypted connection (if is supported by the proxy server server); all the
data that you exchange with the proxy server will be encrypted,
so nobody between the proxy server and you can read the data
