"Newbie question: What is a proxy address used for?"

Hey everyone!

So I keep hearing about proxy addresses, but I’m kinda lost. What is a proxy address exactly? Like, how does it even work?

From what I gather, it’s like a middleman for your internet traffic, but why would someone need that? Is it just for hiding your real IP, or does it do more?

Also, how’s it different from a regular IP? Does it slow things down?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I’m just trying to wrap my head around it. Any simple explanations or real-life examples would be awesome!

Thanks in advance! 🚀
