VPN vs proxy vs Tor
VPNs encrypt most traffic to one exit IP. Proxies often cover only browser traffic. Tor routes through multiple relays for strong anonymity at the cost of speed.
Limits of hiding your IP
Logged-in accounts, cookies, and browser fingerprinting still identify you. Hiding IP helps location and ISP metadata, not full anonymity alone.
