socks5 proxy vs caching proxy server

[jojothehumanmonkey]

hello and thanks,

in the past, i used a socks5 proxy over ssh, very simple and easy.

now at home, i am using opnsense,  have a road warrior ssl vpn.

so when i am outside the home, i need a simple socks5 proxy for my web browser - firefox.

that caching proxy seems very complex and not sure that it can work as socks5 with firefox

please, can someone help me understand my options.?
thanks,
jojo
