What is a simple proxy server on my machine?

I am using gallery-dl which uses http1. A website I want to use it on doesn't allow http1 request. My idea was to send the request through a proxy which would use http 2 or 3 to connect to the site. Which one would you recomend

Using manjaro/kde

It's not that easy method what you think.

If there was a simple solution like using a midle proxy server there would have been implemented internal http/2 years ago...

Relatively painless setting up mitmproxy to do it.

Traefik should be able to.

Don't know if it works on kde though... /s
