What's the real difference between proxy and VPN? Which one should I use? or Can someone explain the

Yeah, the difference between proxy and vpn is kinda like comparing a bike to a car. Both get you somewhere, but one’s way more secure.

A proxy just changes your IP for one thing (like your browser), but a VPN encrypts *all* your traffic—like, everything on your device.

For streaming, a VPN’s better ‘cause it hides your activity from your ISP. Proxies can be faster tho. Check out NordVPN or ProtonVPN if you wanna test it.
