If you are able, pls answer as if I were 100 % stupid :D I 
mean, I'm really dumb about internet protocols and alike.


I was considering to subscribe to a VPN (which will be 
mainly used in a VM, Linux guest inside linux host, possibly 
but unlikely the same distro),
but when thinking about whether to use the VPN inside or 
outside the VM (or both ????), I was at a loss.

I really dunno what a VPN is, I think the browser is to be 
instructed to connect to a proxy ... but WHERE ?

Inside the VM ?
Oustide (if so, where to configure a proxy in this case, as 
I won't be using a host-browser) ?
Both ?

Can sb tell in simple words which is possible and how, and 
the pros and cons of the solutions ?

Tnx in advance.
