You guessed it, or maybe not; I made a router into a proxy! It acts like a proxy in many ways, especially with NAT, but by default, it does not act like a web proxy. As many of us have use cases for web proxies, you think it would make sense to use a router as a web proxy. Depending on your use case, it does and doesn't. If you're simply trying to proxy traffic, then you can easily make your router into a web proxy using Privoxy package in OpenWrt. If you need to do heavier workloads, like TLS decryption, you would want to use a server as it would have the resources to tackle that. With lighter workloads of simply proxying web traffic, you can have a web proxy on your router that can service your needs. Using OpenWrt 21.02 and Privoxy 3.0.33, I show you in this video how to set up a basic Privoxy instance, using paid Royal Residential Proxies as Upstream Proxies from IP Royal, to proxy your web traffic through different IPs all over the world. Whether you are doing data mining, web scraping, sneaker shopping, SEO research or social media research, this demonstration will get you set up with a proxy you can use for all your network devices, tailoring it websites that you need proxied. Follow along to get your proxy router up and running around the world!
