Can someone explain what is proxy setting and how does it work? or What is proxy setting and why woul

Proxies are like a mask for your internet traffic. They hide your IP, but *good* ones also encrypt data or block trackers.

Why bother? Privacy, bypassing regional blocks, or avoiding throttling (ISP slowing your Netflix).

Setup? On phone, it’s in Wi-Fi settings—tap the network, modify proxy to ‘manual’, and enter the server.

Free proxies? Avoid. They’re either slow or stealing data. If you *need* free, Psiphon is *less* sketchy.
