The two terms are often confused, but they are actually quite different. A proxy is a tool that allows you to hide your online activity from prying eyes.

This is done by routing your traffic through a third party. This third party then acts as your proxy and provides a layer of protection between you and the websites you are visiting.

A VPN, on the other hand, is a type of network security that uses encrypted tunnels to protect your traffic. This means that not even the VPN provider can see your data.

VPNs are especially useful when you are travelling and want to keep your activities private and secure.
