Good afternoon all my fellow netizens. I have a question for y’all.

To preface this, I’m not the most tech savvy. I know a little about tech and I know the recommended “sailing techniques” but for more in-depth stuff I rely on those smarter than I.

So, for piracy how does a Trojan Proxy Server(like the ones anonymous-proxies offer) compare to a traditional VPN?

From my reading I know that the Trojan Proxy Server is harder to detect, and is able to be used in nations who actively target VPNs, like China. And it apparently hides behind the https so your data looks like normal web traffic (please correct me if I’m wrong or mistaken). So if correctly bound to a torrent client it should offer even greater protection and anonymity than a vpn.

Just curious for some input from tech people before I make mistakes. Especially if the US continues to go down this authoritarian road I’d like a back up in case they target vpns

From my understanding yes. At least that’s what Google is saying.
