The first reason is to optimize bandwidth usage. Proxies can improve speed by caching Internet content locally after a client requests it. Clients that request the same content will get it locally instead of downloading it again from the Internet. Another reason is content filtering. Specific websites can be blocked or approved or content can be filtered dynamically with a third-party service.
