Is there any way to configure your ubuntu server as a proxy, so that proxy could be used in browsers, for example. server A. IP: 11.22.33.44 is a proxy and Using firefox or any browser we could use that IP for using internet?

1I'm sure Volkswagen is happy that you put one of their IP's on the internet instead of using your own. (whois.domaintools.com/148.203.12.139)– mtakCommented Mar 27, 2017 at 14:00

Your question is thoroughly unclear, please ask a proper, defined and well-formed question if you expect others to help. If you want help "setting up a proxy using Ubuntu" you should do as the squid-cache documentation suggests: start with a simple, working, configuration and gradually add the extra features you need. If you then need help from this site, post your config, the expected behaviour and the errors you are encountering.– simlevCommented Mar 27, 2017 at 15:51

You could also chain some proxies e.g. privoxy, squid, tor, and then set the IP in your browsers. If local 127.0.0.1 or another IP somewhere else, to test e.g. a virtualmachine with bridged mode 192.168.1.X .– Tech-IOCommented Mar 27, 2017 at 19:01

The question was edited and and can now be easily answered: yes. You can install a software proxy such a squid-cache on the Ubuntu server and then configure your browser to use it. Squid-cache might not be the easiest program to correctly setup so do as the documentation suggests: start with a simple, working, configuration and gradually add the extra features you need. A how-to could help get you started, so have a look here.
If it's a one-off or you only want to access a specific website or service from your server's ip, save yourself the hassle of setting up a proxy server and use port forwarding instead.

Okay I repeat myself. there is an server A and we want to make it proxy and use it on my local PC browser? Commented Mar 28, 2017 at 4:29
