your own in a comfortable way.

Minimal config that works.<br>

Linux curl command can test if reverse proxy works.
`curl -x http://666.6.66.6:56566 -L http://archlinux.org`
# More configuration
For security I use firewall that allows in connections only from one public IP.
Or I would be using VPN. So not much interest in security acl and authorization config.
Also no interest in caching.
So this is just some config with some headers turned off for maybe better hiding
of the real IP.

A firewall is used for security, allows in-connections only from one public IP.
Otherwise a VPN like wireguard would be used,
so not much interest in acl security and authorization provided by the config.<br>

# Setting proxy in browsers
![foxy](https://i.imgur.com/oYIA5u1.jpg)
Every browser has proxy settings where ip and port can be set and it should
work globally for every site. But if only certain domains should go through proxy
then thers browsers addons.
# Usage
**FoxyProxy Standard**
FoxyProxy Standard - got version on firefox and chrome.
* [firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyproxy-standard/)
* [chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/foxyproxy-standard/gcknhkkoolaabfmlnjonogaaifnjlfnp)
In config one can setup ip and port and it works.<br>
But it also has pattern section where url wildcard can be set and proxy is applied
only on those sites.
In config one can setup the proxy ip and port and then one can enable or disable proxy.<br>
But it also has pattern section where url wildcard can be set and proxy
is enabled all the time but applies only on sites fitting pattern.
