Thanks for all the replies, folks! Super helpful.
Sounds like ssl proxies are a bit hit-or-miss for hiding my IP. I’ll probably test a few (like SSLPrivateProxy) for light stuff, but I’ll grab a VPN for anything serious.
Quick Q: Anyone tried Windscribe’s free plan? Wondering if it’s worth it before committing.
Also, big thanks for the leak test sites—didn’t even know those existed! 😅
