5G Proxy vs 5G VPN

Proxy vs VPN

In this article we will take a closer look at 5G Proxy vs VPN. Proxy and VPN are two different types that may seem similar at first. Both are designed to keep you anonymous on the Internet. You can mask your original IP address, protect the web traffic you send and protect your data and protect your privacy. 

If you are wondering if you can use the proxy and the VPN together, the answer is no. You will need to pick one or the other. It’s possible to use a VPN and then connect to a proxy for double protection, the 2 providers need to be different. There is no benefit to do this.

Many people think that sharing a VPN and a proxy only leads to mutual annihilation. Since proxy services usually do not have encryption, people are more likely to ask if they can work together, and vice versa. 

Encryption

VPN has the decisive advantage over proxy servers in encrypting and routing network traffic. VPNs have encrypted tunnels which data is transmitted securely, all data is encrypted, whereas proxy data is not. The main advantage of using VPN instead of proxy is the total encryption of all traffic that passes through it. However, once the traffic reaches the VPN server, it behaves similarly to a proxy. The connection itself is usually more stable with a VPN and, to repeat, it encrypts the traffic. Running a VPN does not slow down your Internet connection. compared to a proxy. VPN or proxy can not improve Internet speed.

However, this is not the only reason why you want to use a proxy server via a VPN. Read below for a simple comparison to understand which one suits you best, VPN or proxy.  When choosing a proxy or VPN, everything depends on what you are using, so if you are not sure what the differences are between them, it helps to define one first. 

What should you choose?

To make it easier to choose between 5G proxy vs VPN, we have listed the advantages and disadvantages of each. Now that you understand a little more about each one, let’s dive into the comparison between proxy and VPN. If you look at the explanation of VPN against proxy, you will notice that the differences between them are quite obvious. Perhaps there is one that clearly distinguishes a proxy from a VPN, and that is the difference between the two. 

VPNs are used because they transfer data from your ISP router to the VPN provider’s server and are used to redirect your Internet traffic via the proxy and also to a remote server. VPNs are more than proxies, because they not only protect you from what your browser does, but also protect all your traffic, including your browser, no matter where you have installed or activated a VPN. A proxy only protects what you do through your browser, aVPN hides your IP address so that websites cannot see your original IP location.

Generally, a VPN offers better protection for you. The good news is ProxyGuys offers both Proxy and VPN in your subscription. This allows you to choose between them to see which works better for your needs.

ProxyGuys adds 9 new proxy locations (soon residential static)

Beginning Oct 5, 2020 ProxyGuys.com added 9 new proxy locations. We now have 25 locations total. We completed our massive network upgrade to accommodate the new locations as well as give us more room to expand in the future. The new locations are as follows:

  • San Jose, California
  • Portland Oregon
  • Las Vegas, Nevada
  • San Antonio, Texas
  • Indianapolis, Indiana
  • Birmingham, Alabama
  • Columbus, Ohio
  • Virginia Beach, Virginia
  • Jacksonville, Florida

Within the next few weeks we will be adding capacity to all existing proxy locations as well as more capacity to the new locations as they become full. Also, we want to keep ahead of the curve and not get stuck in a spot where we had no room to expand.

Static Residential proxy locations

At this time, are planning for residential static IP’s in the USA.

Initial Features…
– Locations to include 2 new proxy locations: CenturyLink (Baltimore MD/Washington DC area) & Comcast (Ashburn, Virginia)
– Non-sequential fresh static residential IP’s
– 100% Uptime Reliability
– Speeds extremely reliable over 50+Mbps
– Instant Setup Time
– HTTP(S) Supported
– User/Pass or IP Authentication
– Client Portal to manage proxies and update IP Auth.
– We may possibly be able to add Sprint, AT&T & Cox within 60-90 Days.

These would be STATIC meaning they do NOT rotate or change. Certainly you would keep the same IP’s for the duration of your subscription. These are meant for people that need blazing fast, high quality, extremely reliable residential IP’s for things like Facebook/Instagram/TikTok Ads Manager, Google Adwords…etc.

Finally, these are NOT low-quality auto-rotating residential IP’s that the competition sells, those are basically illegal botnets that steal a user’s bandwidth through the use of malware, games, spam, and hijacked computers. They are often slow and unreliable. Also, that’s how some providers can offer 30 million IP’s from 13 countries and 500+ cities because they’re running or reselling access to a large botnet. Lastly, If you just need a ton of cheap residential IP’s to rotate through, this wouldn’t be ideal for you.

We would like to thank all our customers for being patient with us as we had quite a bit of downtime to add the new proxy locations and some unexpected additional downtime.

ProxyGuys announces VPN connections

[April 20, 2020] ProxyGuys recently spent a lot of time testing and developing our next phase of updates. We are proud to announce our new VPN connections available now to all customers in all locations. We are the first in the industry to provide this.

These VPN connections are much more stable and more secure than ever before. They provide you with access to the IP’s as if you’re directly on the modem with your device. VPN’s are encrypted connections whereas proxies are not. So all your data going through the VPN is secure and you can feel safer. Other benefits include no fingerprint leaks and easier location changes without having to redo your settings.

When you log into the portal (Multi-Location accounts only) and you connect to a location you will now see the VPN settings (L2TP) along with the proxy settings (HTTP(S) & SOCKS5. The password for the VPN connection is your portal password. This allows you to enter it one time into your VPN settings and it will follow you no matter what location you choose. We have also provided some automatic profiles for MacOS and iOS/iPadOS to help you connect to the VPN easier. Click the profile you desire and approve it on your device and you’ll instantly be connected to the 5G modem.

Once you have your credentials you can enter them into your device. We have several guides to help you accomplish this. You can visit our Getting Started page as well as our ProxyGuys YouTube channel.

We are also available 24/7 via our online chat located in the bottom right hand corner of every page.

If you have any questions of concerns feel free to reach out to us.
