Wow, thanks y’all! Didn’t expect so many clear answers. The http proxy meaning makes way more sense now—especially the "middleman" comparison.
Tried ProxySite.com like someone suggested, and it actually worked to check a geo-blocked page.
Quick follow-up: How do you know if a proxy is safe to use? Saw some free ones but sketchy ads everywhere. Also, why do some sites *still* block you even with a proxy?
