When you use a proxy service, your computer is acting as a proxy and forwarding requests to the proxy server. This can be helpful in situations where you are not allowed to connect to the desired website or service directly.

However, when you use a VPN, your computer is acting as your own proxy and routing all traffic through the VPN server. This can provide a more secure connection because the traffic is encrypted.

Therefore, it is possible that a VPN could override a proxy service, but this depends on the settings of the proxy service and the VPN. In general, if the proxy service is configured to allow traffic through the VPN, the VPN will override the proxy.
