Wow, thanks for all the replies! Super helpful to finally understand what is a proxy setting and how it works. Didn’t realize it was more for bypassing blocks than full privacy.
I tried setting it up in Chrome like a few of you mentioned, and it worked for accessing a site my school blocked. But yeah, I see why a VPN might be better for actual security.
Gonna look into NordVPN or ExpressVPN like some suggested. Appreciate the tips!
