Proxy and VPN are two methods of connecting over the internet. Proxy servers act for a different computer. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and allows for a connection to occur while activity remains private.

What's the difference between Cisco VPN and SSL VPN?

The main difference between a Cisco VPN (often using IPsec) and a browser-based VPN comes down to how they connect and what they secure. ✅ Cisco VPN (IPsec VPN): Uses IPsec encryption for strong security. Requires a dedicated VPN client installed on the device. Provides full network access, making it perfect for employees working remotely. ✅ Browser-Based VPN: Works through a standard web browser — no extra software needed. Protects access to specific applications like webmail or internal portals. Offers flexibility and is great for contractors or users who only need access to certain services.

How do you use proxy settings to view blocked websites?

First you would need the aid of a proxy server which enjoyed unrestricted direct access to the web site. Then you would configure your computer to make the request through the proxy server rather than directly to the blocked site.The key takeaway regarding proxy settings is that these are not useful unless you first have access to use a proxy server. The proxy server administrator will provide instructions to configure your computer to use the service which it provides.In addition there are two solutions to this problem,1- Proxy services: proxy services like hidemyass and fastfreesurf, can give you access to the blocked sites but you will be linked to these social networking sites through their IP addresses which leaves your USERNAMES, EMAILS & PASSWORD shared. Which is a risk, I don't think so anybody would take as all your social networking accounts contain private information, pictures and information. Which you obviously would not want to share.2- Virtual Private Network Services (VPN): This brings us to another solution, which is VPN Services. VPN services provide you with an anonymous IP addresses in different locations of the world where these services/social networking sites are not blocked. So that you can have an access to these sites. There are various VPN Reviews sites, where you can find VPN services. I recommend you http://www.bestvpnservice.com, which is a site I also use to find a VPN service in my country with respect to my requirements and purposes.Hope this answers your question!
