Can someone explain what does proxying mean in simple terms? or What does proxying mean and how does

Proxying is when another server handles your requests instead of you doing it directly.

It’s useful for:
- Privacy (hiding your IP)
- Bypassing filters (school/work blocks)
- Load balancing (spreading traffic)

But not all proxies are equal. Free ones? Often slow/unreliable. Paid? Better speed + security.

Check out Squid if you wanna set up your own proxy server.
