Buying a proxy provides better security, privacy, and anonymity when browsing the internet. It also helps with bypassing geo-restrictions, protecting your identity, and avoiding online tracking.

Proxy services offer enhanced online privacy, secure browsing, access to restricted content, anonymity, and protection against cyber threats such as hacking and phishing.

Proxies typically do not speed up browsing. However, certain proxies, like caching proxies, can speed up access to frequently visited websites by storing copies of data, thus reducing load times.

Free proxies often come with security risks, such as lack of encryption, data leaks, and poor performance. They may also log your activity and sell your data to third parties.
