The anonymous proxy server acts as a middle man between the web browser of the user and the end server. Here, the user will not contact the server directly to get the web page. The web browser communicates with the proxy and in turn the proxy forwards the request to the server.

Then the proxy will receive a reply from the end server who in turn will give back the reply to the browser.
