What is VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts all your internet traffic and routes it through a secure server, while a Proxy simply acts as an intermediary server that hides your IP address but does not encrypt your data. VPNs provide stronger privacy and security, whereas proxies are lighter and mainly used for location spoofing or bypassing restrictions. 🌐 VPN (Virtual Private Network) 🔄 Proxy Server 📊 VPN vs Proxy Comparison Feature VPN Proxy Encryption Yes, full traffic encrypted No encryption IP Masking Yes Yes Scope Entire device traffic Specific apps/websites only Security High (protects against hackers/ISP) Low (traffic visible to ISP/hackers) Speed Slightly slower (due to encryption) Faster, but less secure Cost Usually paid Often free or cheaper
