Okay, imagine you’re playing hide and seek, and the proxy is your friend who runs and tags the seeker *for you*. You stay hidden, but your friend does the work.
That’s the meaning of proxy—it acts for you.
It *can* hide your IP, but not all proxies are equal. Some are just for bypassing restrictions (like school wifi blocks), others actually encrypt your data.
Free proxies? Eh, I’d avoid ’em. They’re often slow or unsafe.
