The easiest and fastest way to proxy a request?

Question

linux

There is a service https://some.site.com that restricts entry by ip address. Access there is blocked only from certain ip.
There is access to the Ubuntu machine with a permitted ip address. There I picked up openvpn. How can I now access this service from my browser through this machine, as if from a machine with a permitted address for testing.
It would not be desirable to lift squid for the sake of it. Tried nginx (it's installed) via proxy_pass - but something didn't work.
I would like a simple solution - like running netcat or something like that ...

Answer 1

Can't a simple masquerading solve the problem?
installs a firewall on this machine, hang up IP address masquerading on the interface, and in the openvpn server settings, specify the route to this host through your VPN.
push "route 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.255"

Answer 2

3proxy?

Answer 3

Tried nginx (it's installed) via proxy_pass - but something didn't work.

Try again - this is one of the simplest and at the same time flexible ways.

Answer 4

Socks5 proxy emulation via SSH.
On the workstation, run a simple command:
where -D 5555 - SOCKS server emulation through port 5555
-f - work in the background, after authentication
-N - do not start the shell on the remote host.
You now have a sock5 proxy at localhost:5555
