A proxy is a service that allows access to websites blocked in different countries, while hiding your own IP address. It is a kind of intermediary between the end server and the owner's computer. A VPN provides an encrypted connection to the network, which not only allows you to keep your privacy, hide your IP address, encrypt Internet traffic, but also bypasses firewalls.
In the upper right corner of the browser, click "Settings and Other", and then select the "Options" tab in the window that appears. Once the "General" window opens, locate the "Advanced" tab and click "Open proxy settings" in the menu that appears. Here, in the line "Use a proxy server", select "On". In the "Address" field, you must specify the IP address of the proxy, and in the "Port" field - the port of the proxy. The last thing to do is to click "Save".
VPN is considered a more advanced technology for anonymization on the Internet. The main (but not the only) difference between VPN is the encryption of all traffic. But this decreases the connection speed and also increases the response time of the remote server. A proxy works slightly faster in this respect.
The first thing to do is to find a suitable proxy server with an IP address and port. Then you should check whether the proxy works by means of a special program or an online service providing such services. The next step is to configure the type of browser you are going to use. The procedure of setting itself depends on the type of browser and does not take much time. After correctly entering the IP address, username and password of the proxy server, don't forget to save the changes you made.
In CentOS, if there is no graphical interface (from the terminal), proxy configuration is done through the export http_proxy=http://User:Pass@Proxy:Port/ command. Accordingly, User is the user, Pass is the password to identify you, Proxy is the IP address of the proxy, and Port is the port number. If you have DE, the configuration can be done via Network Manager (as in any other Linux distribution).
