Can someone explain the proxy settings meaning and how they work? or What exactly is the proxy settin

Ohhh, this makes way more sense now. So proxies are like the basic version of VPNs?

I tried FoxyProxy like someone suggested, and it’s kinda neat. But yeah, some apps just ignore it—super annoying.

Quick Q: If I use a proxy AND a VPN, does that break the internet? Lol.

Thanks for the help, y’all! Gonna mess with Squid next.
