Wow, thanks for all the replies, everyone! This has been super helpful. I tried out NordVPN’s proxy feature like someone suggested, and it’s been working great so far. The speeds are decent, and it unblocked a few streaming sites I couldn’t access before.
I’m still curious though—has anyone tried using a proxy server for WiFi on public networks? I’m a bit paranoid about security when using coffee shop WiFi, and I’m wondering if a proxy would help with that.
Also, thanks for the heads-up about free proxies being sketchy. I’ll definitely stick to the paid ones from now on. Any other tips for staying safe online?
