Setting up a proxy server

[Jamie1994]

Hi all,

What I want to do is have a proxy server hosted at home, that I can use to route traffic through from my laptop using any other connection (i.e. free wifi APs).

I would like this server to be hosted on a small form factor PC such as a raspi or plug computer, failing that a laptop.

What sort of software should I be using to host the actual server, this is not a HTTP server but rather a VPN(?) I guess, I want to send all my traffic through it.

Sorry if this is the wrong section but it seemed like you guys would know the most.

Quite different animals. What is your actual goal?

I want a "proxy" or whatever the right word is that I can route my traffic through. To the AP im using it should look like all of my traffic is coming from the same IP address.
