➡️ What Is a Proxy?

A proxy acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet. Instead of connecting directly to a website using your real IP address, your traffic is routed through a proxy server, which then forwards the request on your behalf.

As a result, the destination website sees the proxy’s IP address instead of your own. This helps protect your identity, improve privacy, and control how your traffic appears online.

Proxies are commonly used for:

  • ✔ Anonymous or privacy-focused browsing
  • ✔ Managing social media or online accounts
  • ✔ Web scraping and data collection
  • ✔ Bypassing geo-restrictions and content filters
  • ✔ Testing websites from different locations

The exact behavior of a proxy (static vs rotating, shared vs private, authorization method) depends on the proxy type you are using.
