"Proxies" are a special kind of computer that acts as a middle man between you and the internet. This allows you to seemingly connect to the proxy, and the site thinks that the proxy is what actually connected to it, but you secretly are linked.
In ASCII style:
Usually:
[YOU (#1234) ] <--------------> [ (#1337) SERVER]
The server sees that you are 1234 and knows it has to send data back to 1234. Also, the system admin knows you're connecting to 1337 and may block it.
With a proxy:
[YOU (#1234) ] <-----------------> [ (#4321) PROXY] <----------------> [ (#1337) SERVER]
The server actually sees that you are 4321, but in fact 4321 secretly sends its data to you.
The system admin thinks you're connecting to 4321, he won't know about 1337 at all.
Why doesn't everyone use proxies then?
Because they are slow.
Using a proxy may need a proxy switching program or a web service or just entering a IP address into a box in your web browser. (See http://hidemyass.com/ for a public list of proxy IP addresses and http://google.com/ on how to search for "How to use proxies with [INSERT WEB BROWSER HERE]" )
