Can someone explain the meaning of 'proxied by' in simple terms? or What exactly does 'proxied by' me

It’s not just rerouting—it’s controlling. A proxy can modify, log, or even deny requests. "Proxied by" tells you who’s in control of that flow.

Example: Schools use proxies to block certain sites. Your request gets "proxied by" their filter first.

Tools like mitmproxy let you see how proxies intercept traffic.
