Where are Proxy Server settings on LG 3

About six weeks ago I suddenly could no longer access the internet using Firefox or the default Browser on my LG 3. I just kept getting a message which said "The proxy server is refusing connections". I went to my local Sprint store and after two hours of their playing around with my phone, I was told that I could use Chrome - for some reason you did not get the message with Chrome - or I could reset my phone to factory conditions. Not wanting to reset, I have been using Chrome. I last used it on 11-24 and it worked. As of today I cannot get to the internet with anything. Chrome issues the same message now. I am unable to find any Proxy settings. I am running Android 5.0.1, Kernal Version 3.4.0, Build # LRX21Y, Software Version LS990ZVC. Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance

It's in your APN settings-

This also might be of help:

You're welcome in advance.

Thanks PapaGary,

I am familiar with the Access Point Name settings. Prior to changing to Sprint, I had changed those settings when I purchased a Nexus 5. But on this G3, I do not have the option to change APN settings. I was looking in Network settings and I can set up a Virtual Private Network, but I don't have the APN settings option. If anyone know where I can find this on the G3, I would really appreciate knowing where it is.
