Answer: Proxy server

Explanation: 

A proxy server is a computer system that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients and servers. When a client makes a request to a server, the proxy server passes the request on to the appropriate server. This can be useful in situations where you want to restrict access to certain parts of your network or protect against attacks. Proxy servers can be placed on the perimeter of your network to protect against attacks from outside the network. They can also be used to reduce load on your primary servers by caching content from other servers.
