An actually functional webproxy to self-host (lemmy.ml)

I've been looking for a webproxy that would work with big websites like YouTube. So far I've found only very outdated and abandoned ones. Is there any up-to-date and actually functional webproxy I could host?

Edit: The reason I need this is that there are some locked up Windows computers I can't install any traditional VPNs on and that are used by non-tech-savvy people.

I can't pin the comment with the solution so here's the link

If I'm understanding, this is like the old trick of using Google translate to bypass web blacklists.

But it won't work for networks which implement whitelists.

    So, my high school used to have a domain/ip whitelist. The trick to get around whitelists is to take advandage of the fact that whole subdomains or cloud providers would be included in the whitelist.

    Any duckdns subdomain, or anything hosted on many cloud providers would be unblocked.

    So holy unblocker has a one click deploy, which can deploy to PaaS sites which would usually have their entire ip address space and subdomains included in the whitelist.
