[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 894861, member: 59283"] Proxies simply swap your IP address for the proxy servers', and don't encrypt the traffic between your system and server. They're also generally used on a per application basis, instead of system-wide. VPNs also swap your IP but they encrypt the traffic (and DNS requests) between your system and the VPN server, which stops your ISP from storing a record of the sites you visit. They're also usually used system-wide, although some offer split tunneling which allows you to choose specific applications whose traffic gets tunneled through the VPN while all other traffic goes directly to your ISP.
