Its a gateway between one end of the internet, and you. It acts as a forwarding number to your personal number for data. But it works in both directions, so you can send data via this gateway.
You use them either through your browser in network settings. Normally your provider will explain how.
If you have a number of private ones, you can use foxy proxy or a similar plugin to manage them.
Or you use them via an API and custom software.
Please explain to me like five what's a proxy, how it helps and how you can get one
Can anybody tell me to that how to use proxies , I know that its changes the ip but what is the real game for proxies , anyone ?
When you ship goods from china to US,
They will know the item is from china
If US impose restriction on china imports,
you can ship the goods to India first
Just then, ship to US

India here act as proxy
When you visit a webpage,
There is exchange of data between your computer and server computer (in which website file is stored)
Using proxy only means you're accessing that website using another computer
Think as opening that same website through browser inside teamviewer than your actual browser
Just in proxy, instead of whole desktop, only internet traffic is routed
It can be used for variety of things, from doing things that require uniqueness of IP, or as simple as accessing blocked website
Do not confuse with VPN, as VPN will encrypt the traffic end-to-end so no one else can know what you're accessing. Because of this, it tend to be slower than a proxy. But privacy is guaranteed
Using proxy is straightforward. Unlike VPN that will route every data traffic sent from your computer, proxy is software-specific. If you set the proxy only in chrome setting, then other software (antivirus update, etc) will still be able to see your real identity
