A simple proxy server in Node.js can handle HTTP and HTTPS requests, block certain URLs, and support various browsers, including Brave. To begin, install Node.js and create a basic proxy server that forwards HTTP requests to a specified address. Additional functionality, such as blocking unwanted URLs, can be achieved by creating a file with a list of banned addresses, which the proxy server checks before processing requests. Enabling HTTPS support requires valid security certificates, allowing the proxy server to manage secure requests. This setup provides a versatile solution for managing web traffic and ensuring network security.
