Thanks so much for all the replies, everyone! This really helped clear things up for me. I think I get the difference between a wifi proxy and a VPN now.
I tried using ProxySite like a few of you suggested, and it worked great for accessing a blocked site I needed for school. Super easy to set up, too.
One quick follow-up though—if I’m using a wifi proxy, can my ISP still see what I’m doing? Or does it just look like I’m connecting to the proxy server? Just curious about how much privacy it actually offers. Thanks again!
