What Is a Proxy and How Does It Work?

You’ve probably heard the words PROXY or PROXY SERVER numerous times, but what is a proxy? Proxies can help you surf the web anonymously, hide your IP address without a VPN for market research and other tasks, and let you access blocked websites around the web.

But that’s only a few of their superpowers. In this video, we talk about what proxies are and most importantly – what they can do for you.

You’ll find answers to the questions:

- What is a proxy?
- How do proxy servers work?
- What does a proxy do?
… and more.

So which of the proxy features would you use the most? Let me know!

[tonymontana]

I don't know if many people use proxies for simple IP hiding. Proxies are great at botting, for example, but a VPN is definitely better for browsing or streaming.

I can't connect to internet. It says proxy server error or sth. But I can connect to internet in whatsapp and Facebook only

Uncomfortable music, next time level up the volume of your voice and place the music in the back, not in the front.

I have a moron that controls my cursor on my PS4 pro. He helps me with my security code (4 clicks) but his code is always incorrect for a long time. When I'm in a race he makes me turn left at 200 mph on a straightaway. Would a Proxy server kill this Richard Cranium? Please help, thanks for sharing. L, S, & DING!!!
