Anonymous proxies are risky af these days. Half of them are either scams or monitored by someone shady.
If you’re gonna use one, at least test it with a site like WhatIsMyIPAddress first to see if it’s leaking. But yeah, VPNs are just the smarter move now.

Thanks for all the replies, guys! Super helpful.
Sounds like anonymous proxies are kinda past their prime, and VPNs are the way to go. Gonna check out Mullvad and ProtonVPN since a few of you recommended them.
One last Q—anyone know if VPNs work better with certain browsers? Or does it not matter?
Appreciate the insights!
