Short answer: An http proxy is a go-between for you and the web. Long answer: It can mask your IP, filter content, or even speed up browsing if it caches stuff.
But here’s the thing—free proxies? Risky. They might sell your data or inject ads. If you’re just learning, maybe play around with FoxyProxy (a browser extension) to see how it works.
For serious use, though, invest in a paid service.
