Use local HTTP proxy over the internet

Question

I have set up a local proxy server on Ubuntu Server (I used Squid). Now, when I'm on the same LAN of the server and when I connect to 192.168.1.XXX:8888 I can use the proxy. But can I use it over the internet? I have already tried connecting to the public IP address of my server but it didn't work. Thank you.

You need to open the ports through your Internet router. This is hardware dependent - you'll need to consult your documentation. In any case, this is not a question for SO. Try Super User — user1864610

Your server must have a separate public IP address, or you have to use a specific port on your current IP and do a port redirection for incoming traffic on public IP and this specific port to the proxy server.
