Join Daniel Lowrie from Antisyphon Training in this episode of the Networking Fundamentals series as he demystifies proxy servers — what they are, how they work, and why they matter.

Daniel explains reverse proxies, their role in web application firewalls, and demonstrates hands-on setup examples in Firefox, Windows, and Linux using tools like FoxyProxy and Burp Suite.
Whether you're new to networking or brushing up your skills, this tutorial breaks down complex concepts into clear, practical insights.
