A simple proxy is designed to act as an intermediary to proxy requests from http://localhost:8080/{url} to the specified URL. For example, it can proxy requests from http://localhost:8080/https://ip.sb to https://ip.sb.
This proxy serves as a middleman, receiving requests from clients and forwarding them to the target URL. It allows clients to indirectly access the content of the specified URL by accessing http://localhost:8080/{url}.
By using this proxy, clients can access the resources of the target URL through the local host on port 8080. The proxy receives the client's request on port 8080 of the local host, then forwards the request to the target URL (in this case, https://ip.sb), and finally returns the response to the client.
The purpose of such a proxy is to hide the client's true identity and location, as all requests are routed through the proxy server. It can also be used to bypass certain network restrictions or filters, allowing clients to access blocked websites or content.
It's important to note that this is just a simple proxy example, and actual proxy setups may involve additional configurations and security considerations.
