What is a proxy server and why do we need one? And why are changes necessary?

Most of you will probably not even know that I am providing a proxy server for you. Some will not even know what a proxy server is - let's shed some light into the technology behind, the reasoning why we are using one in the first place and the two main issues I am having with providing one for you right now. I will present four possible solutions to address these pain points and will explain the pros and cons of each solution, too. Enjoy!
