Cannot Edit APN & Cannot Add New APN, How to use the Proxy?

I have S6 with Android 7 and currently I need to modify APN in order to access my proxy server while using mobile data. I have to set it on APN, not just setting proxy on the browser. But the problem is I cannot modify the existing Verizon APN or adding the new one. So, how to fix that?

You might need to a VPN connection instead.

I don't need a VPN. I want to either modify the existing Verizon APN or add the new APN which I can't do neither on S6 Nougat.

I think you gave me the wrong information. I want to either modify the existing Verizon APN or adding the new one on my S6 Nougat. Just tell me how.

The Verizon Wireless network uses a NAT firewall with private IP addresses. To remotely access a server on another network, it has been recommended to setup a VPN connection. This recommendation was for Jetpack devices and likely could apply to the smartphones and other devices.
