VPN and Proxies Explained
Proxy: HTTP Proxy Server. A proxy server acts as a relay for your web connections. Proxy servers have no effect on encryption and they only deal with web traffic. As with a regular web connection, data is only encrypted if it goes over HTTPS.
VPN: Virtual Private Network. A secure encrypted tunnel between you and a remote computer or network. In the case of NetShade, the tunnel goes between you and one of our servers. Our server then provides you with a securely encrypted link to the Internet.
Proxy+VPN. A dual-mode setup enables additional anonymity by adding an HTTP proxy to the VPN tunnel. The VPN layer is closer to your computer, where the proxy layer sits between the VPN servers and the Internet. This connection mode can be thought of as a “bounce” from VPN to Proxy to host.
