How to setup a HTTP proxy for web browsing
I have a win 2008 r2 server in the UK, I am travelling around a lot and wanted to be able to use a Proxy so I could present a consistent IP adress from my laptop while I am on the move. I don't necessarily need all traffic to go over this IP I'm mainly concerned about web browser traffic. Is this possible with built in features of win2008? if so how would I set it up? Thanks.

Hi, Thank you for your post here. From the description, you want to setup a HTTP proxy server which you count on for HTTP internet web access when you are off-site. No. I think it is not possible with bulitin features in Windows Server 2008. You can bulid a VPN server (RRAS) with Windows Server 2008 features. However, all traffic will go through the VPN server instead of the HTTP traffic only. To achieve your goal, you will need to purchase Proxy Server (For example: Microsoft Forefront TMG server) and publish it to internet for remote users.
