Hello! I have a server that runs 24/7, and have recently started doing some stuff that requires scraping the web. The websites are detecting the server’s IP to not be residential though, and it’s causing issues.

I’d like to host a proxy server on the small server I have running 24/7 in my house, so that everything for that 1 page could be proxied through it. Does anyone have any idea how I’d set up a server like that? Thanks.

    That seems overcomplicated for me honestly, but now I just thought that I actually can host the scraper on the home server, as the scraper itself only scrapes simple data, and the downloads are by a separate program.

      The downloader talks to the scraper through HTTP, which I can publish through CF Tunnels, so it’s perfect.
