What Is A Proxy?
Think of the following scenario:
You and someone you don’t like have to work on a project together. Since you don’t want to speak to one another, you ask a friend of yours and them to ask them if they did their part. The person you don’t like (let’s say his name is Foo) tells your friend that he has done all his work. Your friend tells you Foo’s response, and now you can submit the project.
A proxy is like your friend in that scenario, but in the form of a server on the internet. When a server bans you from accessing a certain API endpoint or URL, you can use a proxy to act as you but using the proxy’s identity.
Why Do We Need It For Discord Webhooks Now?
Discord recently banned all requests from Roblox servers, which is why your webhooks broke. Discord saw the request came from a Roblox server and rejected it.
If you use a proxy, you will pass along what you want the request to do to the proxy, but when the proxy sends the request to Discord, the request looks like it came from that proxy server, not the banned Roblox one. Understand how this works now?
That concludes this tutorial on proxies. If you would like to know how a proxy is made, it’s basically a webserver that takes in the data that you passed to it and directly kicks it to the receiving server. Proxies don’t have to just exist for Discord - a very popular one existed for Roblox for a while (rprxy.xyz).
