Hey! So proxy settings definition is basically like telling your internet connection to use a middleman (the proxy server) before reaching a website.
It’s not *just* hiding your IP—it can also help with stuff like bypassing geo-blocks or speeding up access if the proxy caches data.
VPNs are different because they encrypt ALL your traffic, while proxies usually don’t. If you just need to change your IP for one app (like a browser), a proxy works. For full privacy, go VPN.
Try tools like ProxyMesh or HideMyAss for testing proxies.
