Yo, great question! The proxy settings definition is basically like having a buddy fetch stuff from the internet for you instead of going yourself.
It hides your IP, yeah, but it can also cache stuff (save copies) to make things faster, or block sketchy sites.
If you're just starting, try a free proxy like Hide.me or ProtonVPN to play around. Tweaking proxy settings is handy for privacy or getting around geo-blocks.
Hope that helps!
