I checked out the comparison page on https://shp.network/comparison and it’s a useful resource if you want to understand how different VPN/proxy technologies stack up — especially when deciding what to deploy on your own server with root access. The page breaks down the key differences between tools like VPNs and proxies, explains how each one handles traffic (e.g., full-device encryption vs. application-level routing), and helps you pick the right option for your needs. This kind of comparison is really helpful because proxies and VPNs may both hide your IP, but they work in fundamentally different ways and offer different levels of privacy and security — VPNs typically encrypt all traffic and protect against ISP or attacker surveillance, whereas proxies usually only mask IP for specific apps without encryption.
