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

Wow, thanks for all the replies! Didn’t expect so much help.

I checked my proxy settings using `netsh winhttp show proxy` (thanks for the tip!), and it looks like I’m not using one right now.

Gonna try out KProxy later and see how it works. Quick follow-up: do free proxies slow down your internet a lot? Or is it just hit or miss?

Appreciate the explanations—way clearer than Google!
