How to setup a simple proxy with auth command? Need step-by-step guidance!

Wow, thanks so much for all the suggestions! I ended up trying Squid first since it seemed the most straightforward. Got the proxy running, but I’m having trouble with the auth part.

I created the password file with `htpasswd`, but when I test it with curl, it keeps saying "unauthorized." Am I missing something in the config?

Also, I’ll definitely check out Caddy and TinyProxy if Squid doesn’t work out. You guys are awesome!
