  • The big difference is that VPNs encrypt all traffic between your computer and the VPN computer, while this is usually not the case with a proxy. The lack of encryption and decryption can make a proxy slightly faster, but obviously less secure if you’re tying to hide what you’re doing.

    ELI5 version:

    VPN - You write a note in code, pass it to your friend who then decodes it, and then gives the decoded note to your crush. Your crush doesn’t know it came from you, and if the teacher caught you passing the note to your fiend, they wouldn’t be able to tell what it was.

    Proxy - You just pass a note to your friend, who then hands it to your crush. Your crush doesn’t know if came from you, but If the teacher catches you, they can read it. It’s faster than having to write in code and decode.



  • You literally aren’t capable, because none of the information you’re getting is first hand, you don’t get to see the full scope of the situation, nor do you have the background or education to understand to interpret that data even if you had it.

    The people that do have those capabilities (namely the intelligence groups of the western governments we all live in) are still supporting Israel, although they’ve asked nicely for them to not be quite so open in murdering civilians if they can avoid it. Just like the US got asked nicely not to do the same thing when they invaded the middle east and killed a half million civilians.

    This is textbook Dunning Kruger on your part.
