Wow, thanks for all the replies! Didn’t realize there were so many types of proxies.
I tried NordVPN’s proxy feature, and it worked for accessing a geo-blocked site. Still kinda slow tho—any tips for faster ones?
Also, how do you even check if a proxy is logging your data?
Appreciate the help!

Proxies reroute your traffic through another server.
Good for anonymity, bad if you use a sketchy one.
I’d recommend rotating proxies if you’re doing heavy scraping—Blazing SEO is decent.
