Is a Google Proxy Server the Best Solution for Secure Browsing? or How Reliable is a Google Proxy Ser

"Does a Google proxy server actually hide your IP address?"

Hey guys, been wondering about this... if I use a Google proxy server, does it *really* hide my IP? Or is it just kinda masking it temporarily?

I’ve heard mixed things—some say it’s solid for basic privacy, others claim it’s not *truly* anonymous. Like, does Google still see my real IP behind the scenes?

Also, how’s the speed? Proxy servers can be hit or miss, and if it’s laggy, what’s even the point lol.

Anyone got real experience with a Google proxy server? Or should I just stick to a VPN?

Thx for any tips!
