Proxy server for home server?

[x_kzy_xd]

I’m looking for a proxy server to host on my home server. An important feature I need is to be able to choose which network adapter it binds to.



So far, I’ve the best option I’ve found is “The Free Proxy Suite” Handcrafted Software. It looks somewhat sketchy… Am I wrong in that regard? I’m paranoid about routing all my traffic through an unknown closed source developer.



Is there a better proxy server that fits my needs?

Tested The Free Proxy Server long time ago, did not encounter any problem.

CCProxy 8.0 is free for 3 users if it's all you need.

Squid is what i would use. Never tried it on windows though.

Thought Squid for Windows is not true open source since I could not find the code on Gihub repository. ( it seems just codes for MSI installer on the site)

But found that the author did tell you how to how to build Squid 3.5 for Windows on Cygwin.

What are you trying to accomplish with the proxy?

 

[mxnerd]

A proxy server lets you control who can access the internet, what time users can get online and what websites users can visit.

A caching proxy like Squid also can speed up internet access.

Administrator can also run Squid log analyzer to see internet access statistics.

Thank you for sharing! The video you have posted is pretty informative. It helped me solve every issue I was having with the home proxy server. I was always using 4g mobile proxy servers, and I never had problems using them. I had problems only with home proxy servers, especially with connecting to the proxy server and the Internet speed after connecting to the proxy server. After watching the video, you shared, I noticed that I had made some mistakes in setting up the server, so it is why I was having issues.
