If the only thing you are running on the server is a proxy, then don't worry about security so much.  I'm not sure why the proxy is writing to disk in the first place-my understanding of them is that they simply forward http requests.  It shouldn't be saving anything.
The important statistic is 1 TB transfer.  I'm not sure how this is broken down into outgoing and incoming bandwidth, but it's probably both.  Ram shouldn't be a concern for this kind of thing, nor is disk space.  Processor might be, but it's only you so not really.  If the total amount of data used by the server goes over 1 TB, you may be charged.  This is very, very unlikely to happen unless you hand your proxy out to all your friends.
Apache and Nginx are both fine.  Faster does not matter.  This guide might make a good starting point.  I'm the wrong person to ask about easier to configure; I found Nginx to be saner, if only because the config files were something like 20 times smaller, but then i came to it with a lot of background knowledge on what I was doing.  It's worth noting that it took a whole weekend the first time (I'm down to about 20 minutes now) and I've never used it for this purpose.

Hello, 90% of the VPNs are blocked by my internet host.
I will check out that tutorial soon!
Do you know a VPN that is really odd sounding and still works with videos?

The problem with Hide My Ass is:
1. they are more expensive than even website hosting...
2. The free version does not play videos and
3. When I installed the HMA toolbar, my internet provider blocked the right-click option in firefox.

Proxy server configuration is not for the faint of heart. If you leave a proxy server open, you provide a route for bad people to do bad things. And although powerful, Squid and mod_proxy are insanely tedious to configure.

My advice: first, establish if you can tunnel VPN traffic. Most of the time, it suffices to install OpenVPN with TCP port 443 listening; then even the most restrictive firewall cannot prevent you from VPNing in, as long as they do not know that the host is a VPN server. That leaves open the option of looking for a VPN provider that is not yet known by the resident Gestapo.

Press shift+insert while in PuTTY's terminal to paste the contents of the clipboard to the active session.

Hmm, that's weird. I have used the free version of hidemyass to watch videos. That worked great but that was a while ago.

Hmmm. Ya may want to check out the book: Imagine There's No Countries , for some tips. Not a free book, but worth grabbing.
Also, don't forget Codi (formally XBMC), though its best to download the version including the Kodi/XBMC TTS Plugin

Plenty of resources to get what ya want for sure.

I have a FireStick for watching Netflix in the bedroom which I like a lot. Mostly I use Amazon Prime video and Netflix on that. We used to have Hulu as well, but I stopped paying for that because we just never watched it. I have jailbroken my Firestick according to this guide https://www.firestickhow.com/jailbreak-firestick.html  and have a prompt access to whatever I want anytime.

So, the jailbroken Firestick is great. Google is your best friend here.
