In the modern world the internet and its services have become an integral part of everyday life; indispensable. A greater use of the services offered by the web has focused attention on the protection of the privacy of some sensitive information; provided daily by ourselves to sites and services. To this end, VPN<\/strong> or proxies<\/strong> can be useful to avoid our data to end up in the hands of attackers. Proxy servers and VPNs act as an intermediary between the applicant and the server that receives the commands. In this way, the server is not able to know the user's IP address. Operations can thus be protected. Depending on the location of the server of our VPN or proxy, there is the possibility of being connected from a geographical position that does not really coincide with our own; allowing access to services not offered by the region itself. In China a VPN or proxy can be useful to access services such as Google, YouTube, Google Maps or others.<\/p>\n

Proxy is a shield server between us and the web. By accessing the Internet, data traffic passes through the server where it originates, not through our computer. Proxy is an intermediary that does not add any encryption. Therefore, the transmitted data is more vulnerable. The server simulates a call from a call center: the raised number is not actually that of the issuer, but of a switchboard that acts as an intermediary for all operators.<\/p>\n

VPN also stands between the user and the Web by changing the IP address of the requester. The difference lies in the fact that VPN has a higher level of security because the transmitted data is encrypted. This protects the data traffic from hacker attacks. Encryption also hides the data from the internet provider who will only be able to connect to the server.<\/p>\n

The VPN allows all transmitted traffic to first pass through itself and then be transmitted to the web. A VPN can thus add a level of security regardless of the type of application or service. A proxy, on the other hand, often interposes itself at the level of the individual app, thus passing through the transmitted data of a specific application and filtering only a portion of the traffic. A VPN performs multiple operations simultaneously. This is why it is usually slower than a proxy; which only redirects traffic. A low quality proxy, like the free ones, can be shared by several users at the same time. Thus the connection speed is low. The proxy acts only as an intermediary; that's why you should be careful with free services.<\/p>\n
