Draft paper — "This Vid Proxy Better"

Abstract
This paper evaluates "This Vid Proxy Better" (TVPB), a lightweight video-proxy architecture designed to improve video delivery quality and privacy for end users. We introduce TVPB’s goals, describe its system design, analyze performance and privacy trade-offs, and present experimental results comparing TVPB to direct streaming and common CDN-assisted delivery. Results show TVPB reduces bandwidth consumption at the client, lowers visible buffering events, and offers measurable privacy improvements with modest server-side overhead.
