A proxy address acts as a go-between for your device and the web. It masks your IP, which is handy for anonymity or getting around restrictions.
How it works? Your request goes to the proxy server first, then to the site. The site sees the proxy’s IP, not yours.
Downside? Latency. Extra hop = slower speeds. Tools like Tor (overkill for most) or residential proxies (like GeoSurf) can help.
