Puffin Proxy

There are two main reasons you need a proxy for the Puffin Browser. The first is because it is blocked in some countries, and the second is to improve your security and privacy. But before talking about that, let us first understand what a proxy is.

A proxy is a server that handles all your online traffic. More importantly, it acts as an intermediary between you and other servers, apps, services, video games, and everything else. A proxy changes your IP, so it can also make the website, app, or service you’re visiting think you’re located somewhere else.

China, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, and Qatar restrict Puffin to stifle free speech. Surprisingly, Puffin is also blocked by the majority of UK ISPs. If you live in one of these locations or just visiting, proxies can help. By just using a proxy from a different region, you can avoid all IP-based geo-restrictions.

Your security and privacy cannot be 100% guaranteed, no matter how good your browser is. While Puffin claims that this data is solely used for statistics reports, we’ll never know for sure. In the worst-case situation, they may be gathering your personal information and selling it to the highest bidder. Hopefully, this isn’t the case. However, as long as it’s out there, there’s always the possibility of your private information getting into the wrong hands.

Websites can gather a lot of data about you because Puffin doesn’t disguise your IP address, which is a red flag for privacy-conscious consumers. But with proxies, you can be sure that your identity will stay hidden since you’re not sharing your IP and other identifiable data with any online entity.

So there you have it, proxies are essential to improving your user experience with the Puffin Browser and keeping your personal information safe.

The best proxies for Puffin Browser are datacenter and residential proxies. Residential proxies allow you to choose a specific location and surf the web as a real user from that particular area. These proxy servers are actually real devices with ISP-issued connections and IP addresses. In other words, the traffic you make through them can’t be distinguished from other regular Puffing users. They’re impossible to detect, but they’re also usually more costly and have bandwidth limitations.

Datacenter proxies use IP addresses that are virtually generated on cloud servers. This means they have no affiliation with ISPs, making them easier to detect. However, they are usually faster and cheaper than residential proxies, so they’re a great option when you just need to get a new IP address.

No matter which option is right for you, it’s essential to choose your proxy service provider wisely. Free proxies are worth avoiding because they’re usually slow and unreliable. More importantly, they’re often just a front for cybercriminals looking to steal your sensitive information. Always go with a provider you can trust.
