Fetch via proxy

I have a 3proxy on a VPS, and I can configure it in any way possible (theoretically :slight_smile: ). Currently it has authorization by username/password and is set up on a non-standard port.

I’ve tried the first approach with routes, but I can’t figure out the part where I have to configure a gateway, the example in the wiki is for VPN connection, not proxy server. I don’t think I can make a PPTP connection to a proxy server, can I?

I’ve also read about CHR - I’m pretty much a beginner in network administration, I think it would be too hard for me to set one up.

If there’s no obvious way to send part of the traffic via external proxy - would setting up a VPN server on the remote VDS and then following an example from Policy Based Routing wiki solve the problem?

Thanks!
