Step 4: Configure Tinyproxy
After installing Tinyproxy, we need to configure it to meet our needs.
The Tinyproxy configuration file is located at /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf. You can edit this file using your preferred text editor.
For example, to allow access from all IP addresses, edit the configuration file as follows:
# Allow access from all IP addresses
Allow 0.0.0.0/0
You can also change the port number that Tinyproxy listens on by changing the Port option.
Make sure to save your changes and exit the text editor.

Now that Tinyproxy is installed and configured, we can start the service.
To start Tinyproxy, run the following command in the Terminal:
sudo systemctl start tinyproxy.service
This command will start the Tinyproxy service.
Step 6: Verify Tinyproxy
To verify that Tinyproxy is running and accepting connections, use the netstat command:
sudo netstat -plntu | grep tinyproxy
This command should output something like the following:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1234/tinyproxy
