Yes, you can bypass CORS by using a proxy server. The client makes a request to the proxy server, which is located on the same domain as the client application. The proxy server then forwards the request to the target API. Since the request from the client to the proxy is on the same domain, the Same-Origin Policy does not apply. The proxy server handles the cross-origin request to the external API and returns the response to the client. This effectively hides the cross-origin nature of the request from the browser, circumventing the CORS restrictions.
