OP here—thanks for all the replies! Super helpful.
Sounds like a Google proxy server isn’t the move for real privacy. I’ll probably test out NordVPN or ProtonVPN like some of you suggested.
Quick follow-up: anyone know if these VPNs slow down streaming? Like, Netflix buffers a lot with proxies, but what about VPNs?
(Also, big thanks for the proxy alternatives—didn’t even know about Smartproxy or Luminati!)
