It's basically like a re-mailing service.
For instance, some man might order himself an ass vibrator or writes a letter to someone that they don't want to reveal their home address to. Instead, you give your address as a fake address of a re-mailer (proxy) in some place like Atlanta, Georgia. When your vibrator or mail arrives at that Georgia address with your name on it, the operator of the re-mailing service then re-sends the mail from them (in Georgia) to you.
That is an added expense, and slows things down, but is a good idea in certain circumstances.
This site doesn't use the very traceable DHT - making this site quite safe.I would suggest doing the following instead of going for a proxy.
Install the new Brave browser from Brave Dot Com. It uses very little memory, and offers great privacy. Even better, it has a built in TOR browser. When Brave starts up, don't use it as-is. Click on the three horizontal bars in the upper right as seen in this picture, open a TOR window, and then you can close the Brave window.

Also, it should be noted that a VPN will hide ALL of your internet traffic, whereas a proxy will only hide traffic from one specific application, leaving your computer's other activities, including DNS history, and other connections that your computer makes exposed directly to the internet. A VPN on the other hand will ensure that not only will your identity be hidden from the internet, but the activity itself will also be hidden from your ISP. This adds an even greater layer of protection against a number of things.
