The main task of these two popular technologies is to provide security for the Internet user. Despite a certain similarity of tasks, they are performed absolutely differently. Proxy, although it allows you to remain anonymous and bypass blocked sites, it is still quite vulnerable, especially when it comes to untested services. VPN in this regard looks preferable, because thanks to end-to-end encryption it reliably protects information from the entry point to the exit point.
You need to open the settings menu, go to "Data and disk", and then - "Proxy settings". There you can enter the address, port number of the intermediate server, as well as username and password for authorization (if necessary).
In e-mail, proxy servers are used for secure data exchange as well as for collecting e-mails from several e-mail addresses at once. For example, this is how Gmail works, which also allows you to receive e-mails from mail.ru and other e-mail services.
The provider, when the user uses a VPN, "sees" only the encrypted traffic, as well as the address of the remote server to which the request is sent. But it is impossible to determine which site the user is visiting and what data is being sent.
It is a proxy that everyone can connect to. That is, it handles absolutely all requests without interacting with the traffic in any way, without monitoring its packets.
