Just letting you know the "deals" section isn't the best section for this question. 

I would suggest the "Troubleshooting" category. 

 

totally clicked the wrong section. oops

A proxy is an "ip:port", how have you got that installed?

A VPN should already work out of the box once you've installed it.

If you mean configure the programs to use a proxy, the software has to already support it so there should be a menu option.  A lot of software out there will respect the IE proxy settings in Windows or the system proxy settings on *nix so in those cases, you don't have to set it in the software.  Other than those two, there's nothing you can do.  Unfortunately, I've found that there's a lot of software out there that is too stupid to work in an explicit proxy environment.  The only way those work with a proxy is with what is known in the industry as a transparent proxy.

If you need to force a program to use a proxy there are options you can explore but it would be much easier for you if the program supports it so look for that option first.
