  1. Understanding Key Terms

What are Proxy, VPN, and TOR?

  • Proxy: A server that acts as an intermediary, masking the user’s real IP address by routing traffic through itself.

  • VPN (Virtual Private Network): Encrypts and routes traffic through a remote server, hiding the user’s IP and location.

  • TOR (The Onion Router): A network that anonymizes traffic by routing it through multiple encrypted nodes. In Browsify, these are monitored to detect anonymous traffic often used for fraud, with options to block such users.
