Honestly, transparent proxies are more for organizations than individuals. They’re used to monitor traffic, block certain sites, or even cache content to speed things up.
But yeah, they can be a pain if they’re not configured properly. For example, if the proxy doesn’t handle HTTPS correctly, it can cause SSL errors or make sites look sketchy. If you’re just a casual user, I wouldn’t bother with it. But if you’re curious, check out Cloudflare’s blog—they have some great articles on how proxies work.
