Hello people, I know how to use and connect to a proxy, I just don't know which tool or software I can use to set one up.

My problem: I'm half way across the world from home, I'd like to use my home windows machine as a proxy to take advantage of regional pricing on some websites. Simply remote in and do what I need on the machine itself is easy but it's a weak machine so I don't really enjoy the slideshow during the remote session...

How could I get it done? I'm a total noob so I don't know which information should be included, please ask and I'll provide.

Update 3: I never thought this post would blow up the way it did, I was skeptical and decided to reach out just incase even though I was hesitant. I didn’t realize the positive impact it would have in protecting thousands of people’s computers and data. Thank you to everyone for all the nice comments and big thank you to the developer for working with me and others to get to the bottom of this and solving the issue.

Jdownloader was my childhood software so it was kind of surreal to see this post blow up and it was quite overwhelming getting so many notifications. It was stressful managing and guiding the comments, but I’m glad I was able to help out I hope everyone is safe and have a lovely day my friends, and special thank you to whoever gave me the Reddit award, and the really cool people who diagnosed the malware and viruses. The website is back up and checked the pinned developer comment for their updates still.

Update 2: Please read pinned developer comment thread before asking questions

Update: Confirmed hacked DO NOT download until update from Devs.

I been using Jdownloader and switched to a new PC a few weeks ago. Luckily I had the installer in a usb drive but decided to download the latest version. The website is official but all the Exes for windows are being reported as malicious software by windows and the developer is being listed as “Zipline LLC.” And other times it’s saying “The Water Team” The software is obviously by Appwork and I have to manually unblock it from windows to run it which I will not do. I ended up plugging in my flash drive and the setup file on that flash drive has the Jdownloader logo along with AppWork being listed as the developer…

Are the servers hacked? Whether I download the no ads version or the offer free version it’s being flagged by windows on both ends and the exe has no logo either. This is getting draining as if the offer adware side wasn’t bad enough. Please be careful. At this point just charge for the software rather than potentially destroying people’s computers for ad revenue ffs I’m sick of it.

As far as I know, gluten is protein and it is present in flour. When it "develops" does it mean that the protein content increase or it's just the gluten arranging and tangling itself?
