Proxies works by transferring a copy of each accepted data packet from one network to another, thereby masking the:

A. data's payload
B. data's details
C. data's owner
D. data's origin

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The application firewall (proxy) relays the traffic from a trusted host running a specific application to an untrusted server. It will appear to the untrusted server as if the request originated from the proxy server.
“Data’s payload” is incorrect. Only the origin is changed. “Data’s details” is incorrect. Only the origin is changed. “Data’s owner” is incorrect. Only the origin is changed.
