Be careful if you use a free proxy – they are notorious for spreading malicious traffic. While paid proxy services can be good, you still have to be knowledgeable on the topic and it’s not easy to set it up correctly if you’re not tech-savvy.

VPN, on the other hand, only takes a few clicks to set up and it has a lot of additional features that help protect your privacy and safety.
