@realman543 @Mamako Proxy is for forwarding traffic to before releasing it to the world at large. This is what most """VPNs""" do.
A VPN is, as the name implies, a virtual private network; makes several computers believe they are in a LAN together when they are not.
The reason these proxies call themselves VPNs is because that's the means by which they achieve their goal; they shove you in a VPN and set an external gateway on it.
