      I also need to know what the best proxy server would be to run for this. Squid?

        I found this the other day (and almost lost it; had to search my chrome history)
        https://sessionbox.io/plans/auto-renewal

        It is a Chrome extension that allows you to specify a different proxy for each session. Might be easier to manage this than 4+ separate shortcuts for 25+ users.

        Not a bad idea.

          Yes, for outbound (forward) proxy, Squid is king. And free.

            @scottalanmiller It is this one, right? http://www.squid-cache.org/

                Would multiple Vultr instances be a good platform for this? Can I just deploy a custom Fedora iso and install Squid on these without an additional firewall in front of them? Also, I have to do at least 4; how can I create a template or clone for initial deployment and any future additions?

                  make a snapshot or backup in Vultr and then deploy new instance from it.

                    Why would you use a customer ISO?

                      The install script would be like a one liner once you have a standard. Just copy that one liner into Vultr's script list and have it run on install. You only have more complexity if you use the custom ISO instead of their managed image service.

                          Based on other discussions, I thought that the Vultr-provided ISOs were outdated or otherwise not desirable for deployment.

                              That's correct. Using their ISOs is something you'd never do. But why talk about ISOs at all? You don't use ISOs in normal cloud, that's a really obscure thing done for VPS usage for very specific tasks like FreePBX installs where it is an appliance, not an application.

                                You just write it. For example, the base install is something like...

                                dnf -y install squid-cache 
                                

                                That's it. But you might want more, like enabling it.

                                dnf -y install squid-cache; systemctl enable squid-cache
                                

                                Like that.

                                  OK. I would be looking for a more complete template. Something more "cookie-cutter" for deployment that would require the least amount of work for subsequent deployments.

                                    That is getting you a working proxy. Foo you want to customise it? Then that takes more work.

                                    @scottalanmiller I'd add the -now switch for systemctl.

                                    dnf -y install squid-cache; systemctl enable --now  squid-cache

                                        There is no "appliance" for Squid.

                                        For this use case, the Fedora choice is likely the best.

                                        Does it have more bits installed than he needs compared to a manual Minimal install? Probably, but not enough to matter.

                                        @wrx7m I always, 100%, start from minimal when I write guides because I never know where the reader will be starting from. Don't conflate something like that with setting up an application server.

                                          Exactly, which is why I pointed out that the appliance approach was wrong.
