Private Browsing Without a VPN

  Caddy plugin developed by Sergey Frolov while interning at Google https://github.com/caddyserver/forwardproxy/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/caddyserver/forwardproxy/blob/master/READ...

  As I understand things Caddy was chosen because it has sane default settings making easy to "get things right." I don't like that Caddy is a web server though if all I am looking for is a forward proxy for private browsing. Did Sergey Frolov consider any opensource proxy solutions that are not also a web server but have good default settings? Thank you for sharing!

    Part of the point of this plugin is to blend in if desired. If it's standing alone, it's kind of hard to do that. Baked into a web server is a natural choice.

      For some reason my mind read browser-plugin. I thought the whole time that it was a browser plugin that made it easier to connect to the proxy and passed the proxy some parameters for the type of connection you wanted. Now I see that it is a plugin for the web server. That makes a lot more sense.
