What's the best way to set a web proxy? Looking to hide my IP address.
Check if the tor browser satisfies your needs. You don't have to worry about setting up a proxy; Tor network will automatically provide the proxy functionality.
Another option is to use a VPN. You can buy VPN accounts directly. That too will hide the IP address.
If you get access to a VPS (even a cheap NAT VPS will work), you can either set up a VPN of your own or simply use "ssh" which has SOCKS proxy capability.
You can install something like "squid" caching proxy server in a VPS and use it too. But that would be too much I guess.

What kind of proxy ?
Web Proxy or something like SOCKS ?
I'm using nginx for reverse proxy. Works like a charm.
Just use Caddy and thank me later!

Updated Sorry for not giving more details.
I assume you don't want to connect to a private VPN? (openvpn/wireguard from nyr's scripts)
You just want a private web proxy for one off web visits?
The first thing that came to my mind was Glype.
