In the cross-border industry boom, cross-border e-commerce, new media, tourism and other industries are actively expanding overseas markets, so more and more companies need to browse the Internet anonymously and hide their real IP.

 

r/ProxyCommunity - What is the relationship between proxy IP and VPS?

There are many ways to meet this need of users, one of which is proxy IP and VPS, but they have different choices and differences.

Proxy IP, also known as server proxy, is developed on the basis of dynamicdial-up VPS. It is equivalent to a transfer station for network information. The user's request is first sent to the server, and then the server agent obtains the required information and passes it to the user.

 

VPS is a virtual server, equivalent to a network hosting system, that can be used to store data and files. VPS has an independent operating system, and multiple users can rely on the same server.

 

VPS is highly scalable, allowing users to expand resources and freely adjust disk space according to needs. For users who are building websites, having an independent server can better maintain the stability of the website, but it also requires professional technical configuration to support server operation.

In contrast, proxy IP is mainly used on local servers, supports multiple protocol types, and can specify the IP region, making it more flexible. As an independent system, VPS needs to be connectedremotely through a computer to achieve IP replacement, so there are some limitations in its use.
