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.
The easiest way is to install a program that redirects all traffic through a proxy server. And in iOS, this can be set up through the system settings. Some Android phones have a VPN item in the settings menu, which also allows you to use an individual proxy.
Open the Chrome preferences screen, and then, expanding the advanced settings menu, click on the "Advanced" section. Open the "System" item, then on the tab that opens, click on "Open proxy settings for computer". The proxy settings interface will appear in front of you. This will be either the "System Settings" application or the "Browser Properties" application, depending on your operating system.
A firewall is responsible for filtering packets of traffic. For example, it blocks access to the Internet for certain applications. There are many more options for using a proxy. But if you install special software, it can also be used for such purposes.
There are many free VPN services. But it is not safe to use them. After all, they are just engaged in parsing. That is, they collect information about users. Most often - their IP-addresses, as well as text data (these are search queries and their personal information).
