There is a tool called squid proxies (not to be confused with the proxy service of the same name) that allows you to configure things. I'm not sure if there is a better app made? Check it out. You can set it up on any web server and create a proxy.

Depends on the type of proxy you want to build. The simplest option is renting a VPS/server and setting up software like 3proxy or Squid. If you're looking at mobile proxies, that's a different setup involving modems, SIM cards and IP rotation. What kind of proxies are you trying to create?

If you want to create your own proxy, a common approach is to rent a VPS and install software such as Squid, 3proxy, or WireGuard. Another option is to use a cloud server from providers like AWS, DigitalOcean, or Vultr and configure it as a proxy. The best method depends on whether you need it for privacy, web scraping, remote access, or general browsing.

I’d like to set up a proxy farm, just for my own use. Is there a YouTube video or something that explains how to do this?

Easiest way is renting a VPS and setting up a private proxy on it
good for learning and you control the IP yourself
Just remember datacenter proxies behave very different from residential ones for most platforms

Buy a cheap VPS, deploy 3proxy or Squid on it and you should be good to go.
It's perfect for understanding the underlying architecture and how things work, not so much for advanced usage.

Three realistic paths depending on what you actually need: (1) VPS + Squid/3proxy on a Hetzner/DigitalOcean box, ~$5/mo per IP — works for general scraping but the IP shows up as datacenter ASN, so useless for social media. (2) Raspberry Pi at home with your residential ISP + reverse SSH tunnel to a public VPS — gives you one real residential IP, costs hardware once + ~$3/mo VPS. (3) Mobile SIM + 4G dongle + router with proxy software (3proxy or Glider), rotating IP via airplane mode toggle script — most useful for mobile workflows but caps at 1-2 IPs per SIM. Anything more elaborate (multi-IP, multi-geo) becomes cheaper to just buy from BHW Marketplace sellers than to build.
