As an Ubuntu user, I often retrieve softwares from PPA in addition to official Ubuntu repositories. My own QR scanner software, CoBang, is also hosted there. But one issue with PPAs is that, it is slow to download for people from developing countries like Viet Nam. We can overcome that by using a domestic proxy server.
The idea of using proxy is that, we use the Internet line at datacenter (where proxy server stays) to download files from PPA, which is fast for international connection, then the files are delivered to our home via domestic line, which is fast for domestic connection. So the requirement is that, the proxy server must be in the same country, or in near neighbor country.
If we have a VPS, we can install Dante to have a proxy server. I have another post about how to install and setup Dante. This guide applies for SOCKv5 server, like Dante. If you use another type of proxy, I cannot help.
