proxy server How to Create a Proxy?

In general any additional system in your network setup will add latency and at best leave your speed as it is.
The primary advantage of a (caching) proxy (on your local network) would be that it may be able to satisfy requests from its cache rather than going out to the internet at all. In that case you would get a speedup, since you're not actually running through your ISP's connection.
In a company with thousands of employees this may save a fair amount of bandwidth/traffic (which is important if you have to pay for that). However the disadvantage could be that information you see isn't necessarily the most current.
The other purpose of a proxy is typically to filter internet traffic and e.g. make sure employees can't visit certain sites at all.
