Okay, so imagine by prox as a detour sign for your internet.
You wanna go to Website A, but instead of taking the direct road, by prox sends you through their own path first. This can help with speed (if their servers are good) or privacy (since the website sees their IP, not yours).
It’s not as heavy-duty as a VPN, but it’s lighter and faster for simple stuff.
Downside? Some sites block by prox servers, so YMMV.
