Proxy vs VPN
Both proxies and VPN are means to the same end, that is to protect your IP and location, and each of them does this in its own way.
Presales Q & A about Proxies and VPN
Are your proxies private or shared?
None of our proxies are shared (our system can not handle shared proxies) that is why we do not offer shared ones. The IPs you receive are exclusively assigned to you and after you release them (change them) they may be assigned to another user at a later time.
Proxies on port 80 or 8080
Our proxies can connect to any ports that are not mail related (like 25, 465 and 587). We can set your proxy to be http or socks (compatible with either 4, 4a or 5) but we can not provide proxies running on specific ports.
If you need a proxy running on port 80,8080 or any other specific port we can not provide that as the proxy ports are randomly allocated by our system

What is a proxy?
A proxy is a an application program that acts as an intermediary for requests from browsers seeking resources from other servers. A browser connects to the proxy server requesting a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from another server. The proxy server may filter traffic by IP address, port or protocol then it provides the resource by connecting to the destination server and requesting the service on behalf of the client browser. A proxy server may optionally alter the client's request or the server's response.

Free Proxy vs Paid Proxy
There are quite a few providers of "free" proxies but highly anonymous proxies however are not so easy to find not to mention "free" comes as always with a downside, you either get served ads while using the free proxy or should you find a good highly anonymous proxy for free, it will not be reliable due to high traffic loads. There is also the risk that the highly anonymous "free" proxy is actually set up by a hacker looking to get your private info like credit card number.
