What is the difference between proxy and a VPN?
 

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me What is the difference between proxy and a VPN? And where i can get ideas ideas about VPN? Your ideas are highly appreciate here...Thanks...

A VPN service provider (otherwise known as a Virtual Private Network) encrypts all of your traffic, replacing your ISP and routing all traffic through the VPN server, including programs and applications you might be using on your laptop or smartphone.

Think of a proxy as a web filter. The web service proxy settings are applied to your internet browser whether you're using Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or any other web browser.

I think for safe browsing Proxy is better than VPN. I am currently using Blazing proxy. It is fast and reliable. I have been using their service for more than six months.

Proxy server hide your IP addresss, where VPN encrypt your connection.
