Introduction to Proxies

In this section, we learn about Jonathan, an investigative journalist who uses a proxy server to access uncensored information. We also get introduced to the concept of proxies and how they work.

What is a Proxy Server?

  • A proxy server acts as an intermediary between a user and its destination website.
  • When a user connects to a global proxy server, it assigns a new IP address of a different country where the website is not censored.
  • Setting up a proxy server on your computer or network involves using an automated configuration script.

VPN vs. Proxy

  • While VPNs provide extra encryption for added security, proxies tend to be comparatively unsafe with service owners having the exact IP address of the end-user.
  • Proxies are faster and have little to no downtime compared to VPNs.

Benefits of Using Proxies

In this section, we learn about the benefits of using proxies besides accessing blocked content.

Benefits of Using Proxies

  • Proxies can serve as an efficient firewall system and filter content from third-party websites.
  • Browsing speeds are stabilized compared to vanilla internet thanks to proper optimization on the base proxy server.
  • Proxy services are more convenient since all major operating systems allow proxy configuration without installing new applications.
