Proxy servers are often used to provide more secure web access in organizations; the proxy server is allowed to connect to the Internet, but the individual web browsers are only allowed to "talk" to the proxy server. When there are many users sharing a single proxy server, the proxy server can also speed up web browsing by caching popular pages.
