Proksi

Proksi is a term derived from the Latin word "proximus," meaning "next to" or "close to." It has several meanings and applications across different fields.

In computing, a proxy server acts as an intermediary between a client and another server. It can be used to improve performance, security, and privacy. For example, a web proxy server can cache frequently requested web pages to reduce load times and bandwidth usage. It can also hide the client's IP address, providing anonymity.

In mathematics, a proxy is a substitute or approximation for a more complex or difficult-to-obtain value. For instance, in statistics, a proxy variable is used to estimate another variable that is difficult to measure directly.

In everyday language, "proksi" can refer to a substitute or replacement, such as a proxy vote in a meeting where a representative votes on behalf of an absent member.

In the context of law, a proxy is an agent authorized to act on behalf of another person, often used in legal documents and contracts.

The term "proksi" is versatile and can be applied in various situations where a substitute or intermediary is needed.
