What is the use of a proxy server on Kodi, and how can it enhance your streaming experience?

Wow, thanks for all the replies, everyone! I didn’t expect so many helpful tips. I think I’m gonna give NordVPN a shot since a few of you mentioned it. Quick question though—do I need to configure anything in Kodi itself, or does the VPN just work once it’s set up on my device? Also, has anyone tried using a free proxy, or is it better to stick with paid ones? Thanks again, you guys are awesome!
