You can use either. [proxysql.com](http://proxysql.com) is the official from them, and the proxysql from Percona has additional features.

ProxySQL is ProxySQL. I don’t understand your question.

ProxySQL v2 is the same thing as ProxySQL. I’m not understanding what you are asking. If you install ProxySQL, you will install ProxySQL2. Those are the same thing.

Neither. ProxySQL is configured via SQL using mysql client. Please read basic proxysql documentation.
