Is a VPN better than a proxy?

For most people, yes. A VPN encrypts all of your device's traffic and is much harder to leak; a proxy usually handles one application at a time and often without encryption. Proxies are lighter and fine for quick, low-stakes tasks; VPNs are the right default for privacy.

Does a VPN make you completely anonymous?

No. A VPN hides your IP address and encrypts the path to the VPN server, but the provider knows who you are and can see which server you connect to, and websites can still fingerprint your browser, cookies and behaviour. Anonymity requires much more — Tor is closer, and even it has caveats.

Can websites tell that I am using a VPN or proxy?

Often yes. Detection databases track IP addresses known to belong to VPN exit servers, proxies and Tor relays, and datacentre ranges stand out from residential ones. That is exactly what our proxy check reports: whether an address is flagged as VPN, proxy, Tor or hosting.

No. Using Tor is legal in the vast majority of countries and it is ordinary technology — journalists, researchers and ordinary users rely on it. What you do through it is subject to the same laws as anything else online.

VPN vs Proxy vs Tor: He aha ka ʻokoʻa?

Kū nā mea ʻekolu ma waena o ʻoe a me ka pūnaewele a hāʻawi i kāu huakaʻi mai kahi helu ʻē aʻe - akā ʻokoʻa lākou i ka mea a lākou e hoʻopili ai, ke kumukūʻai a me ka mea hiki ke ʻike i ka mea. Eia ka hoʻohālikelike pono.

He aha ko lakou like

ʻO kāu IP address ʻike i kāu pili i kēlā me kēia pūnaewele āu e kipa ai, a hōʻike ia i kou wahi a me ka mea hoʻolako. Ua pane like nā Proxies, VPNs a me Tor - e ʻike ka pūnaewele i ka helu wahi o kekahi ma mua o koʻu - ma ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kāu huakaʻi ma o kahi mea hoʻolaha. Ma kahi o ko lākou ʻokoʻa, ʻo ia ka mea e hiki mai ana i kāu ʻikepili ma ke ala, pehea ka nui o kāu hāmeʻa a lākou e uhi ai, a ʻo wai ka mea e hana i ka relay.

ʻO ka mea koho: he relay maʻalahi

Loaʻa i kahi kikowaena proxy kāu noi, hoʻouna iā ia i kahi e hele ai me nona iho helu wahi, a hoʻihoʻi i ka pane. ʻO ia ka maʻalea holoʻokoʻa.

Nā uhi: ʻO ka maʻamau hoʻokahi noi i ka manawa (kahi polokalamu kele pūnaewele i hoʻonohonoho ʻia me kahi proxy, no ka laʻana) - ke koena o kāu hāmeʻa e hoʻohana mau ana i kāu IP maoli.
Hoʻopunipuni: pinepine ole. Hūnā ʻia kahi proxy HTTP unencrypted i kāu helu wahi mai ka pūnaewele akā ʻaʻole kāu huakaʻi mai kekahi ma ke ala.

hilinaʻi: ʻike ka mea lawelawe proxy i kāu huakaʻi maoli. ʻO nā proxies manuahi ka hana ʻino loa o nā mea a pau: ʻo ʻoe ka huahana.

ʻO ka VPN: kahi alahele i hoʻopili ʻia

A Pūnaehana Kūikawā hoʻokumu i kahi kaila i hoʻopili ʻia mai kāu hāmeʻa holoʻokoʻa i kahi kikowaena VPN. ʻO nā mea a pau - ka polokalamu kele pūnaewele, nā polokalamu, nā lawelawe hope - e haʻalele i kēlā tunnel me ka helu o ke kikowaena.

Nā uhi: ʻo ka mea hana holoʻokoʻa, nā noi āpau, mau.
Hoʻopunipuni: ikaika (WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec) — ʻike wale kāu ISP i kahi pilina opaque i ka VPN.
Ka māmā holo: kokoke i ka laina laina ma nā mea hoʻolako maikaʻi; liʻiliʻi ka hoʻopunipuni ma luna o nā lako hana hou.

Tor: ʻekolu hop a me ka lehulehu

Tor (The Onion Router) e alakaʻi i kāu kaʻa ma o ʻekolu relay manawaleʻa, i ʻōwili ʻia i nā ʻāpana o ka hoʻopili ʻana e like me ka aniani: ʻike ka node komo ʻo wai ʻoe akā ʻaʻole kou wahi e hele ai, ʻike ka node puka i ka huakaʻi akā ʻaʻole ʻoe, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia kahi node ʻelua. Hoʻohui ʻia ke kaʻa me nā tausani o nā mea hoʻohana ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ka pale maoli o Tor.

Nā uhi: ka huakaʻi o Tor Browser (a i ʻole nā polokalamu i hoʻonohonoho ʻia) - ʻaʻole kāu hāmeʻa holoʻokoʻa ma ka paʻamau.

Ka māmā holo: ʻoi aku ka lohi - ʻo ke kumukūʻai o ʻekolu mau hops a me ka lehulehu.
