Can someone explain what is a proxy address and how it works? or What is a proxy address, and why wou

Okay, real-life example: You’re in school, and Netflix is blocked. A proxy address lets you "borrow" an IP from somewhere else (like a home computer) to bypass it.

It doesn’t *always* hide your IP—cheap/free ones might leak it.

Difference from a regular IP? Regular IP = you. Proxy IP = a stranger’s face over yours.

For testing, *ProxyNinja* is user-friendly.
