3Proxy Help
I have got a small vps and I'd like to run a proxy for browsing website etc. (To bypass office/school firewall). Is there any simple proxy which I can use for this purpose?
I have installed 3proxy (https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/17853/tutorial-script-3proxy-elite-anonymous-http-proxy-with-authentication-debian-ubuntu-install) and everything went fine but I don't know how to use it now.
Cannot use openvpn as it requires installation of a software which is not allowed on school's pc.
Would appreciate any guidance.
Thanks

just followed these basic steps here https://github.com/benjamin74/3proxy
plus you have to open the previously designated port(s) (default 3128) in your firewall
3proxy needs one command to compile
make -f Makefile.Linux
and another to run./src/socks -p10000
for SOCKS5 or./src/proxy -p10000
for HTTP Proxy on port 10000What you need is extensions to the browsers:
On Firefox: SwitchyOmega
On Chrome: Proxy SwitchyOmega
Any other proxy which I could use?
Something like https://hide.me/en/proxy?
3proxy setup is easy as 3+3 If you cant get this done try tinyproxy, its easy as 1+1.
localhost:12345 now uses your remote host as a SOCKS proxy. You can change that in your browser settings or use that in curl/wget/whatever as your interface.
Here is mine proxy conf file
nano /etc/3proxy/3proxy.cfg
