I just googled (not literally, fuck Google) 'proxies' and read some of the results. You basically pay someone to route your data through their server, which obscures your IP address. A VPN accomplishes the same thing but *also* encrypts your data. Hence, I'm not sure why someone would use a proxy in addition to or instead of a VPN.
