Proxy's can catch and sniff but mostly they are pass through ports. Also the K2 has limited browsing ability so you really only used it in a pinch. Also on the K2 you where on their network.

Here your on your network and they are catching your content and the fire is much more capable as a browser which means you will be using it a lot more.

With a proxy you securitiy keys are still point to point. With their silk they have not indicated how they will handle this secure connection.
