What is my proxy and how do I find out what it is? or Can someone explain what is my proxy and why it

Think of a proxy like a post office redirecting your mail. Your internet requests go through it first.

It matters because:
- Privacy (kinda)
- Bypassing filters (school/work)
- Sometimes speed (but often slower)

To check what is my proxy, try Chrome: Settings > Advanced > System > Open proxy settings.

Tools? NordVPN has a free proxy checker, but honestly, most people don’t need one daily.
