Can someone explain what is a web proxy and how it works? or What is a web proxy, and why would I nee

Hey everyone,

Wow, thanks for all the replies! This really helps clear things up. So a web proxy is basically a middleman that hides my IP, but free ones can be risky. Got it.

I tried ProxySite like someone suggested, and it worked to access a geo-blocked article. Super cool!

But now I’m curious—how do you tell if a proxy is logging your data? Are there any red flags to watch for?

Thanks again! You all rock.
