Could anyone suggest a free and reliable proxy server, if one exists?

You could self host one
Conceptually, if the thought is to hide traffic, self hosting doesn't add anything, unless you make it public (which I wouldn't) and have multiple people using it.
I think in this case "self host" would be on a VPS, not at home. But you definitely would want to lock it down so it was open to the public.
If it's on a VPS, the host can see your traffic. That may or may not be an issue for you.
