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 So far I’ve found only very outdated and abandoned ones.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?

Edit: The reason I need this is that there are some locked up Windows computers I can’t install any traditional VPNs on and that are used by non-tech-savvy people.

I can’t pin the comment with the solution so here’s the link

    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.
