Proxy servers are of the following types:
FTP proxy designed to send data to FTP servers.
CGI proxy, which is used to browse web services in a browser. You do not need to configure any settings. All actions are performed anonymously. Often such proxies are designed in the form of a page where you have to specify the address of a desired site.
SMTP, POP3 and IMAP proxy are designed for sending and receiving email.
HTTP and HTTPS proxies are for scrolling web services.
Socks proxy are used as an anonymizer. No one will know about the user's actions.
Most often it is used to substitute your real IP address. An example of when this is needed: watching shows on Netflix that are only available to US users. A proxy can be used to make a user logging in from anywhere in the world will be identified by the IP address as a US user. Another option is to test your site through a local web server. A proxy in this case is used to intercept all the traffic in order to analyze it further for errors and failures.
In the "System Settings" section, open the "Network" tab, and then, when you highlight the active connection, click "Advanced". Here, in the "Proxies" tab, tick only the HTTP proxy if you do not intend to use other types of proxies temporarily. Enter the address of your proxy server and its port in the designated fields and click "OK".
It's a router that redirects all traffic through a VPN server. Many router models support this function, you only need to specify the data for connecting to a particular VPN (that is, enter the parameters that will provide a VPN service). And some manufacturers provide such routers, in which all settings are already prescribed (the developers themselves provide a VPN-service or are representatives of such).
Common users can use proxies to bypass blocking, to protect their personal data and to hide their real IP address or data about the equipment they use. But network administrators use them to analyze network traffic and test web applications.
