A proxy settings definition is just telling your computer, "Hey, don’t connect directly—use this other server first."
Why? Privacy, mostly. Or maybe your boss doesn’t want you on Facebook.
Example: If you set a proxy in Chrome settings, all your browsing goes through that server first. Some proxies even encrypt your data.
Tools? *Squid* is a classic for techies, or *CCProxy* for beginners.
