Selfhosting a proxy at home? (lemmy.neoney.dev)

Hello! I have a server that runs 24/7, and have recently started doing some stuff that requires scraping the web. The websites are detecting the server’s IP to not be residential though, and it’s causing issues.

I’d like to host a proxy server on the small server I have running 24/7 in my house, so that everything for that 1 page could be proxied through it. Does anyone have any idea how I’d set up a server like that? Thanks.

This is the most simple solution and probably a lot safer than the alternatives. Another good option would be to use OpenVPN.
