A traditional VPN establishes an encrypted tunnel between your device and a VPN server, masking your IP address and protecting all your internet traffic. Cloudflare's proxy primarily focuses on improving website speed and security by caching content and filtering malicious requests. It doesn't provide the same level of comprehensive privacy and encryption.
