You don't need a special wget proxy to use with wget. An ordinary web proxy will work, like http_proxy="hostname:port" wget some.web.site

As for where to find a proxy, if you want one that'll last longer than 5 minutes, don't use a "free" one. These 'free' proxies are frequently zombie computers and will vanish the next time someone does cleanup, and aren't the sort of junk you want to deal with or be associated with. You can rent legit proxy service, ask your ISP if they have a proxy, ask people in your circle of tech friends if they've set up proxies you can use, or set up one of your own on some other connection.

ssh-http-proxy-connect

ssh-http-proxy-connect(1)					   User Commands					 ssh-http-proxy-connect(1)

NAME

       ssh-http-proxy-connect - Secure Shell proxy for HTTP

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect [-h http_proxy_host] [-p http_proxy_port] connect_host connect_port

DESCRIPTION

       A  proxy command for ssh(1) that uses HTTP CONNECT. Typical use is where connections external to a network are only allowed via a proxy web
       server.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -h http_proxy_host      Specifies the proxy web server through which to connect. Overrides the HTTPPROXY and http_proxy	environment  vari-
			       ables if they are set.

       -p http_proxy_port      Specifies  the  port  on which the proxy web server runs. If not specified, port 80 is assumed. Overrides the HTTP-
			       PROXYPORT and http_proxy environment variables if they are set.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       http_proxy_host	       The host name or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) of the proxy.

       http_proxy_port	       The numeric port number to connect to on http_proxy_host.

       connect_host	       The name of the remote host to which the proxy web server is to connect you.

       connect_port	       The numeric port number of the proxy web server to connect you to on http_proxy_host.

EXAMPLES

       The recommended way to use a proxy connection command is to configure the ProxyCommand in ssh_config(4) (see  Example  1  and  Example  2).
       Example 3 shows how the proxy command can be specified on the command line when running ssh(1).

       Example 1: Setting the proxy from the environment

       The following example uses ssh-http-proxy-connect in ssh_config(4) when the proxy is set from the environment:

       Host playtime.foo.com
	   ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect 
	       playtime.foo.com 22

       Example 2: Overriding proxy environment variables

       The following example uses ssh-http-proxy-connect in ssh_config(4) to override (or if not set) proxy environment variables:

       Host playtime.foo.com
	   ProxyCommand /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect -h webcache 
	       -p 8080 playtime.foo.com 22

       Example 3: Using the command line

       The following example uses ssh-http-proxy-connect from the ssh(1) command line:

       example$ ssh -o'ProxyCommand="/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-http-proxy-connect 
	   -h webcache -p 8080 playtime.foo.com 22"' playtime.foo.com

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       HTTPPROXY	       Takes the http_proxy_host operand to specify the default proxy host. Overrides http_proxy if both are set.

       HTTPPROXYPORT	       Takes the http_proxy_port operand to specify the default proxy port. Ignored if HTTPPROXY is not set.

       http_proxy	       URL format for specifying proxy host and port.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       1	An error occurred.
