A WiFi proxy is basically a middleman for your internet connection, like you said. It hides your IP address, but it’s not as secure as a VPN. A VPN encrypts all your data, while a proxy just reroutes it.
For speed, yeah, it can slow things down a bit depending on the proxy server. If you’re using a free one, expect more lag.
You can set it up in your browser or router settings, but some proxies need special software. Check out tools like Squid or CCProxy if you wanna dive deeper.
Hope that helps!
