I’ve been looking for a webproxy that would work with big websites like YouTube. So far I’ve found only very outdated and abandoned ones. Is there any up-to-date and actually functional webproxy I could host?
Ssh includes a built in socks proxy. What are you actually trying to accomplish?
I’m trying to find an alternative to VPN to be used on a locked up Windows device I can’t install any apps on. And it should be easy enough to be usable by non-tech-savvy people. @moonpiedumplings@programming.dev already provided a good solution
If I’m understanding, this is like the old trick of using Google translate to bypass web blacklists.
But it won’t work for networks which implement whitelists.
Yeah you want the titanium networks projects.
I used to use Metallic.
That’s exactly what I need, thanks!
What exactly do you mean by web proxy? Something like Invidious? An http proxy? A SOCKS5 proxy?
Close to invidious but not specific to any particular site. A page that allows to open other pages through it, like a browser inside a web page except it’s only for opening a website and has no other browser functionality. Here’s a proprietary example: croxyproxy.com
Yeah what you want is a SOCKS5 proxy.
Why not run your own socks5 proxy server?
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

|---|---|
| HTTP | Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the Web |
| VPN | Virtual Private Network |
| VPS | Virtual Private Server (opposed to shared hosting) |
