Simplest explanation: by prox hides your IP and *sometimes* speeds things up.
It’s not magic, though. If their servers are overloaded or far away, it might even slow you down.
Difference from VPN? No encryption. Difference from a proxy? Usually more stable.
Used it for work—worked fine, but wouldn’t trust it for sensitive stuff.

by prox is like a proxy with extra steps.
It doesn’t just mask your IP—it tries to optimize the route your data takes. This can mean faster speeds or access to blocked content.
But it’s not a VPN, so don’t expect top-tier privacy.
Personal experience? Great for Netflix, meh for everything else.
