Access method: Firefox
The easiest way is to install/set up Firefox and use it exclusively for browsing online resources, while using another browser (Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.) for your normal browsing. So the setting is done once and remains permanently activated.
If you generally use Firefox as a browser, it is important to know that in this case you will have to enable and disable the Proxy service every time you use it. The reason is that the service settings direct all your web traffic through the proxy server, and this makes it difficult to serve simultaneous users. It is also emphasized that the traffic on the proxy server is controlled, so the anonymity of your movements is lost.

2. android - IOS
Download Firefox from Play Store or App Store accordingly. After installation, from the options menu with the three horizontal lines select Add-ons -> Browse Firefox Extensions -> search for FoxyProxy Standard and install it (“Add to Firefox”). Then, from the options menu -> Add-ons select FoxyProxy, add (“Add”) the requested items and save the configuration (“Save”) ->

As we mentioned above, if you use Firefox only for Proxy, the process is over. Otherwise you will have to alternately enable/disable the proxy service: from the options menu choose FoxyProxy Standard (last menu option) -> “Use Enabled Proxies...” to enable, “Turn Off...” to disable.
Note
Apart from FoxyProxy Standard which has been tested and recommended, depending on the browser you use you will find other Proxy Add-ons available that you can use.
Finally, the possibility of overall configuration of your computer's Operating System for Proxy use is also mentioned, but it is not recommended, as it is particularly restrictive. In case you want to use it, search the internet for the relevant instructions for each operating system version.
