Proxy is ised to hide internal network IP addresses from external network. In this way you are protected from hacker attacks, as far as proxy is not "cracked". If you have proxy firewall then it's even better because it's not only hide internal IP addresses, but also protects ports from attackes.

How does an anonymous proxy server hide an IP address?

An anonymous proxy server hides an IP address by making requests for data on another computer's behalf. If you are browsing the web through an anonymous proxy server, your computer tells the proxy server what website you want to view. The proxy then connects to the website for you. The website uses the IP adddress of the proxy server to send back the requested data. The proxy server then sends the data you requested (the website) back to you. Not all proxy servers are anonymous. Also, for the anonymous proxy server to work as intended, it needs to be configured properly.
