DMZ is considered more secure, safer than a firewall, and can also work as a proxy server.
Proxy Server
Use Perimeter Network Get a Demilitarized (DMZ) to Protect your Organization’s Internal Local Area Network (LAN) from untrusted traffic. The end goal of a DMZ is to allow an organization to access untrusted networks, such as the internet, while ensuring its private network or LAN remains secure.
- A proxy server is used for many purposes, including:
- To provide internal system security
- To speed up resource access
- To apply access policies for tracking organizational internet use or access employees progress.
- To bypass special controls, such as parental or security controls
- To scan for viruses and malware
- To circumvent regional restrictions
- To allow websites to make requests to externally hosted resources when cross-domain restrictions prohibit websites from linking outside domains.
