      Based on other discussions, I thought that the Vultr-provided ISOs were outdated or otherwise not desirable for deployment.

      That's correct. Using their ISOs is something you'd never do. But why talk about ISOs at all? You don't use ISOs in normal cloud, that's a really obscure thing done for VPS usage for very specific tasks like FreePBX installs where it is an appliance, not an application.

      Slow down and think from start to finish before typing..

      There is no "appliance" for Squid.

      For this use case, the Fedora choice is likely the best.

      Does it have more bits installed than he needs compared to a manual Minimal install? Probably, but not enough to matter.

      @wrx7m I always, 100%, start from minimal when I write guides because I never know where the reader will be starting from. Don't conflate something like that with setting up an application server.

        Exactly, which is why I pointed out that the appliance approach was wrong.

          Yup, absolutely.

            Also deploys way faster, and has extra hooks that can be pretty nice. Like the ability to inject keys and build scripts as part of the build process. It's very light, not the lightest, but that's not really desireable in a case like this. "Reasonably" light but with the right tools is best. You can always remove an unwanted component if you so desire.

                Update-

                So far, I have 2 vultr instances running squid. I used a snapshot of the first, to deploy the second. I have setup postfix for notifications by fail2ban and dnf-automatic. I also setup the firewall and squid settings to only allow connections from our WAN IP range and set the proxy to only allow access to certain domains that were specific to this project. I mostly have the servers ready to go.

                I tried a Chrome extension called sessionbox. They have a paid version that allows you to run multiple proxy servers in different sessions with color coded tabs. Unfortunately, it is pretty complex (too complex for most of my users) and I can't find a way to push out settings or do bulk changes. That means I am circling back to what JB suggested, by launching chrome with incognito and proxy options.

                %pathtochrome%\chrome.exe --incognito --proxy-server="http://proxy01.domain.local:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy01\User Data
                

                I have tested this by running it in a cmd prompt. These will need to be launched separately, so users can keep track of which window they opened for which login they should be using. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose.

                Is the only way to run this by using a bat file? I can't seem to get it going by just using a simple shortcut to Chrome.

                  I got the above Chrome shortcuts working using a GPO with GPP, as shown in my other post-

                      What OS?

                      This works on Windows 10 (1703, 1809, 1903), Server 2016 (1607), Server 2012 R2 and Server 2008 R2.

                        Tor is another option. Proxies are already out there.

                        Lots of guides on setting it up to run multiple browsers from different IPs. We did it years ago for a project and it was perfect. Took a few minutes to setup, but was perfect for the task.

                        There's even a bash script to do all the setup for you. (Not on Windows, of course)

                          Thanks. This has been up and running via squid on Fedora for several months and works really well.
