What is a proxy address and how does it work? or Can someone explain what is a proxy address in simpl

A proxy address is like wearing a mask online—it hides your face (IP) but doesn’t make you invisible.

Great for bypassing school/work filters or checking localized content. Not so great for full privacy (that’s VPN territory).

Free options: Hide.me or ProxyScrape. Just don’t log into personal stuff on random proxies.
