Proxies are the fast-food version of privacy—quick, convenient, but not exactly healthy. A http proxy swaps your IP so you can dodge blocks or hide your location, but it’s not secure.
Free ones? Risky. Paid ones? Better. VPNs? Best.
For a no-fuss test, hit up 4everproxy. For real protection, ExpressVPN or CyberGhost.
