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 So far I’ve found only very outdated and abandoned ones.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?
This ones been up-to-date since 1997
I don’t think any other commenters know what you’re talking about.
Wow I used that to play miniclip games at school in like 2007 I can’t believe it still exists.
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) |

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.
