Now all your network traffic is passing through the proxy and it can alter it:

• It can replace the User Agent string with some meaningless string or strip out the referrers.
• It can accept all cookies, but not pass them to you, or it can block them altogether.
• It’s the proxy that’s connecting to the server, not you, so your IP isn’t disclosed.
• A proxy can be set up to work system-wide, so programs won’t be able to bypass it.

There are also some extra features that a proxy can provide:

• It can compress your traffic to save some bandwidth.
• It can cache files to give a little boost to page load times.
• It can strip ads from websites before they reach your computer.
• It can block malicious websites.

And finally, it can be used not only against filters, but also as a filter!

Liskov Substitution Principle
    Functions which uses reference of base class, should be able to use objects of derived class without knowing them.
    Eg: Program generic Interface, and do not refer concrete classes.

Interface Segregation Principle

Dependency Inversion Principle

Abstractions should not depend on details.
Details should depend on details.
Program to interface, not to concrete classes.
