Looking for a Self-Hosted Web Proxy (alien.top)

Hey folks, I'm on the hunt for a web proxy app I can run on my own server. I want to use it to browse the internet through my server's connection, like this site https://proxyium.com/. I've been searching but haven't found anything similar. Any help finding one would be awesome! 😊

What you're looking for is called a forward proxy. Most http webserver software can be configured to do this.

Here's a guide for setting up Nginx as a forward proxy:

Not quite a proxy, but why not run a web browser as a container?
