How to Use PS3 Proxy

A proxy server is a mediator between your computer and the Internet. When you surf and play games, your Internet protocol (IP) address is obtainable through the web. This is mostly useful for advertising purposes. However, you can receive attacks on your computer when another party has your IP address. Using a proxy server protects your identity.
