Suffix proxy server allows the user to access web content by adding the proxy server name to the URL of the requested content (eg, “proxville.com.6a.nl).

Suffix proxy servers are easier to use than regular proxy servers. The concept appeared in 2003 in the form of IPv6Gate and 2004 in the form of the distribution of Coral content network, but the suffix proxy term was coined only in October 2008 for “6a.nl”
