Method 3: Use a proxy
A proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary between the client and the original server. The proxy receives the request from the client, sends it to the original server, and receives the response from the original server. It then sends the response to the client.
Proxies can be used to access geographically restricted content. For example, if you want to access a website that is blocked in a specific country, you can use a proxy located in that country.
Proxies can also be used to improve browsing security. For example, if you are browsing an insecure network, you can use a proxy to act as a barrier between the client and the server. In this way, the client is protected from possible attacks.
