Hi guys,
I am new here and a newbie in the field. Here is the scenario. My father has a Mikrotik router on his network. I want to install a anonymous proxy that I can use from anywhere. I used to have 3proxy installed on one of his PC’s but it was a hustle because the PC was not 24/7 on.
Is there a way to install an anonymous proxy on his router and also keep the routers normal usage?
Thank you
You can’t install anything, but RouterOS does contain web proxy and it has option to not send X-Forwarded-For header to servers.

Just be careful to not make it open proxy, because if you do, it will be mainly army of bots using it, not you. It may be a problem, because if I’m not mistaken, there’s no support for authentication, so to have it available for you from anywhere and not make it open for everyone at the same time are conflicting requirements. But you can solve that using VPN, set up server on router, connect to it and use proxy through tunnel.
Thanks for your answer, i will give it a try and if I manage to make it work I will make some screenshots for other n00bs like me to learn
