Not a dumb question at all! A proxy address is just an intermediary server. It hides your real IP, which is useful for privacy or getting around restrictions.
For example, if Netflix blocks content in your region, a proxy can make it think you’re somewhere else.
But yeah, cheap proxies can be slow. I’d recommend HideMyAss or GeoSurf if you need reliability.
