My company does a lot of international advertising, and my boss wants a web proxy (that he can use with something like ProxySwitch firefox extension) in each of France, Spain, UK and Italy so that we can view/test our localized ads there.
We've already found VPS providers, now we're looking at implementation details; will Nginx work for this? I know it's used as a "reverse proxy" in load balancing situations, but how would I configure it to proxy the requests [from authorized hosts]?
Googling for "nginx proxy" gives me lots of ambiguous results. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Nginx is a good reverse proxy, but I've never used it as a forward proxy, and I'm not sure it can even manage it. I'd use Squid.
