In a VPN, the client becomes part of a completely different network . So if a client makes a request to a server, the new network makes the request.

A VPN makes a machine part of a nother network at the lowest level of the network (layer 2) you can a brand ip address a brand mac address.

In A Proxy, the client makes the request to the proxy asking it to go to a destination server, and proxy makes the request to the server.

VPN Pros
