The differences and benefits of VPNs and proxies
Port IP: Stands for Internet Protocol Port. There are thousands of ports, and each of them is like a mailbox for different services. For example, the Internet will use port 80; use another email, etc. So you have to "open ports" on your firewall to allow different traffic through or block ports to stop the attackers connecting to your computer.
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. VPN is a service that encrypts your Internet connection and makes it anonymous and as such all applications on your computer or device is attached.
Both will reroute traffic to your internet that changes your IP address. This will make your eyes on the use of the Internet as if it comes from another place; using a different ISP, leaving no direct link between the IP and used your identity
The main advantages can be found in terms of safety, for example :.
• proxies can be used with applications that specifically support the use of proxies. This will leave all other non-protected applications, so that, for example, your navigation is partially secured after you have configured to use a proxy, while other applications continue using your real IP address and expose your identity
• a VPN system works -WIDE and not on a per-application basis. This means when connected to a VPN, all applications on your system will be automatically protected by it without having to manually configure them
• Proxies only offer a minimum amount of security, and you rarely know who is running the proxy and what they do with your traffic data
• VPN offers maximum security through encryption level of government standards, and you know who is behind
it there are a number of differences, for example:
• Compatibility: When configuring, for example, a Web browser to use a proxy, only the web browsing traffic is encrypted. External applications that are used by the browser, for example plugins like Flash, Java, Silverlight, etc., simply ignore the proxy and to continue to send and receive data with your normal Internet connection and IP
• speed: proxy servers can be run by anyone on slow machines with poor Internet connections, resulting in low speeds. HMA! managed VPN servers on high-end servers in the higher data centers worldwide. This ensures maximum speed, performance and reliability
• Variety: You can consider yourself lucky if you found a fast proxy, safe and reliable for your country or favorite place. But only HMA! Pro VPN offers you 498+ VPN servers in 63 countries with more than 59,500 usable IP addresses. Compare that!
