Proxy

I checked the SHP.network comparison page https://shp.network/comparison and it’s a helpful place to understand the differences between VPN protocols and proxy options when building your own self-hosted network setup. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of different protocols — like how VPNs encrypt all your traffic at the network level vs. how proxies might only route specific app traffic — is key to choosing the right tool for your use case. This clarity makes it easier to decide not just that you want privacy and control, but how to configure your server to get the best balance of security, performance, and flexibility. If you’re going to run your own VPN/proxy with root access, having that comparison info upfront saves a lot of guesswork.
