Function

• Since the PSP cannot access Internet directly, a PSP proxy server is used. The proxy server links the PSP and the Internet and enables the user to gain access to the Internet to download data and send emails. The Internet can also be accessed on the PSP through a wireless network at home, that is connected to a proxy server.
  
  

Advantages

• The advantage of using a proxy server is that it provides better speed when compared to dial up servers. Moreover, many proxy servers have predefined security support and advanced cookies settings than traditional Internet access.
  
  

Tips

• Some proxy servers are used for eavesdropping and collecting information. Thus, the user must download a PSP proxy server that provides strict security measures. Also, firewall or anti-virus protection must be used when surfing or downloading information from the Web.
