Explanation

A proxy server sits between an internal LAN and an external WAN (typically the Internet), intercepting and filtering network traffic in both directions. It can enforce access policies, cache content, and hide internal IP addresses from the outside world. A RAS (Remote Access Server) provides dial-in/VPN access for remote users; a default gateway routes traffic between networks but does not filter it; an email server handles mail delivery and is not a general traffic filter.
