Proxying is just a fancy word for a middleman, yeah.
Think of it like this: You wanna watch a YouTube vid, but your school blocks it. A proxy fetches it for you, so the school sees the proxy’s IP, not yours.
But not all proxies hide your IP—some just speed things up (like caching proxies).
For a quick test, try ProxySite.com. Free and no setup needed.
