VPN vs Proxy for speed? (lemmy.world)

Hiya, quickly wondering if there is a big difference between speeds when using a vpn compared to using a proxy server solution? Anyone got any experience here or good articles to refer to?

Thanks 🌻

A VPN is (in a generic, high level sense) a proxy. It's just proxying layer2 frames, vs. layer 4 protocols.

So the answer depends entirely on the traffic and the architecture you've built to support it.
