Can it be used to make a browser into a proxy server?

@pleasant666 I tried that here: https://github.com/minwidth0px/Webrtc-NAT-Traversal-Proxy-Server and it did work for me using free webtorrent signaling servers as the smoke hub. However last I tried it stopped working, probably because I changed something that broke it at some point. Also with the new smoke proxy API it should probably be even simpler as you would just set the proxy to forward all requests from the client to the smoke server eg. https://google.com/search?q=test -> http://802f418949014ea293d8:5000/https://google.com/search?q=test where http://802f... is the smoke server URL. Then in the server you make the query and return the result. (You still need a signaling server.) I haven't had time to work on this again because it was just a side project/curiosity to me though. It would be cool if someone could create a more streamlined setup for this though so it would be nice if you could come up with something everyone could use.
