What Are Proxies and How Do They Work? (Explained Simply) or Can Someone Explain What Are Proxies and

Wow, thanks for all the replies! Didn’t realize there were so many types of proxies.

I tried NordVPN’s proxy feature, and it worked for accessing a geo-blocked site. Still kinda slow tho—any tips for faster ones?

Also, how do you even check if a proxy is logging your data?

Appreciate the help!
