The Proxy Design Pattern is a way to control access to resources and add functionality to objects by using a proxy.
The proxy acts as an intermediary, performing additional operations before forwarding requests to the real object.
Some use cases for the Proxy Design Pattern include controlling access to sensitive resources, banning specific websites in a network, and performing costly operations lazily.
Proxies are powerful tools for enforcing access restrictions, enhancing performance, and improving maintainability.
