What's the difference between a Socks5 Proxy, a DNS Proxy, an HTTPS proxy and a VPN? 

I think he is wrong. HTTPS traffic are end to end encrypted

The author is wrong on this point, HTTPS is just secure enough for daily usage. Except the other side is not HTTPS supported(or you want super high speed connection, then go with UDP), I don't see a reason to use Socks5 or other customized VPNs.

Tor basically functions like a vpn. If you're using tor, you don't need a vpn.

@@tamarisauce1278 If you really need anonymity then use a vpn because your request isn’t encrypted when it has left the exit node and is going to the web server

@@familyguyclips7486 No, many VPN providers have been caught spying on users, and I'd put money on the fact that some are even honeypots for the government. Remember: they know your real IP and location, and they know what domains you visit. So no, VPNs do NOT give you anonymity. On the other hand, tor gives you real anonymity by using a trust-less system. Also, if you're using SSL, your request IS encrypted out of the exit node.

I personally use, socks5, RDP, (premium) VPN, Mac address change, and tor browser or Firefox.

@@Andrew_Tate_Personal No one outside your local network or the app you're running can see your MAC address, if you change it for your ISP they can't see your device MAC address they only can see your router MAC,

He means the IP address (v4) that is a number (stored as a 32bit number) similar to this one for example 127.0.0.1
