What is a proxy?
First, we need to understand what a proxy is. Proxy server is a gateway between you and the website you visit. When you are using a proxy, your traffic flows from you through this gateway to the internet and vice versa – from the internet through a proxy to you.
Proxy changes your real IP-address. So websites can’t understand where you live. If you live in Germany but use a proxy with Polish IP, sources will think that you are in Poland.
