VPN IS SECURE THEN OTHER PROXIES FOR INTERNET FILTARATION

The purpose of using both VPN and proxy servers is to conceal the users identity, or to spoof a certain geo-location (so for example geo-locked services such as many TV streaming websites may be watched outside their country of origin). Many VPN Providers, in addition to offering VPN also provide some kind of proxy service, and there are also many public proxy servers which can be used for free. So the question is ‘what is the difference between a proxy and a VPN?' Although performing a similar function, the actual processes involved are very different, and therefore have very different consequences. The subject is further complicated by the fact that there are a number of different types of proxy services available.
