Need help: How to setup a proxy server for better privacy and access? or What’s the easiest way to se

If you’re looking for privacy and geo-unblocking, a proxy might not be enough. Have you considered a VPN instead?

But if you’re set on learning how to setup a proxy server, check out Nginx. It’s lightweight and can run on that old laptop.

There’s a good tutorial on DigitalOcean’s site—just search "Nginx reverse proxy setup." It’s a bit technical, but way better than most guides out there.
