n8n is a workflow automation platform that can connect APIs, databases, AI services, and internal tools. A self-hosted instance may contain production credentials and business data, so persistence, encryption, HTTPS, access control, and backups should be part of the first deployment.

SwitchOmega and its maintained alternatives such as ZeroOmega let a browser select different proxy profiles according to URL rules.

Tinyproxy is a lightweight HTTP proxy suitable for small controlled environments. It is not a VPN and does not automatically encrypt traffic between the client and proxy.

An open proxy can be abused quickly, so restrict source IP addresses, listening interfaces, and firewall rules before exposing the service.
