Proxy is the authority to represent someone or something. For example in the vietnam war the soviet union wanted to spread communism so they were represented by North vietnam in the war. Surrogate is a substitute, especially a person deputizing for another in a specific role. For example South vietnam was a surrogate for The US because the united states wanted to stop the spread of communism.
