Exactly, you are redirecting your requests to a [web] proxy server.

All that happens is that server requests the page you want, then passes it back to you. So the site you are visiting just sees the proxy servers IP, not yours.

[ That said, many proxy servers pass on your original IP in the request headers, so the final site still has access to it, if it wants. ]
