you can use a VPN and proxy in the same time for a higher anonymity.
by using a VPN the connection to the vpn server its encrypted so if your ISP its tracing your internet activity all that they can see its an encrypted connection from your computer to the vpn server.

while both a proxy and vpn service will re-route your internet traffic and change your ip, they function slightly differently.
think of a Proxy as a Web Filter. The proxy settings are applied to your internet browser whether
you're using MSIE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Etc. When browsing the internet through a proxy server,
all benefits with that server are used, for example, (Security, Speed, and Geographic Location).
The proxy will only secure traffic via the internet browser using the proxy server settings.
Unlike a Proxy, a VPN service provider(Virtual Private Network) encrypts all of your traffic,
replacing your ISP and routing ALL traffic through the VPN server, including all programs and
applications. This also will use all benefits of the VPN server such as (Speed, Geopgraphic Location, and Security).
The VPN can be easily connected or disconnected with the click of a button.
In conclusion, a proxy server is completely browser based, and is not as compatible with
certain web pages that use non-browser technology such as: Comedy Central,Zatoo, Fox OD, and Sky Player.
However, a VPN will work with ALL internet based services, but will offer less choice on which
applications will get run through your ISP, as with the VPN, everything is routed through that server when connected

VPN
Advantage: It supports all systems and all programs besides browsers.
Shortcoming: Because of the strong encryption, VPN is slower than proxy.
Audience: Best for the users who need to use proxy in other programs besides browsers.
Proxy
Advantage: It has thousands of IP addresses which are updated every hour.
Shortcoming: Public proxies are unstable, need being updated frequently.
Audience: Best for the users who need many IP addresses but only use them for a while.

Thank you very much for your answer.
Can you help me? I hope to use US-proxy, how to choose the best US-proxy in the list of public proxy?
