I am looking for a simple web proxy server that anybody can use. I mean it should be executable and not commandline/service. Something like squid/polipo but with a windows interface. It should also be able to cache and should be free of charge.

You use FreeProxy. It is free of charge, a windows executable, with a easy-to-user GUI interface. Also it has features like authentication, caching and url-filtering.
You can download FreeProxy from here.
Another alternate is CCProxy. Still I would prefer FreeProxy over this. You can download CCProxy from here.

3The FreeProxy website seems dead as of October 2015 (some download links are broken) and the software does not install properly under Windows 10. It was a great software while it lasted but it looks like it's time to look for an alternative.– GiliOct 5, 2015 at 4:24
I would like to suggest AnalogX proxy. It is really simple, and I have used it numerous times to solve my proxying problem.
Get it at http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/Network/proxy/Freeware.htm
See my blog on how to configure the proxy at: http://sharuzzaman.blogspot.com/2011/08/ssh-reverse-tunnel-one-way-connection.html
It is more complex than what you need, but AdvOR would do it.
Advanced Onion Router is a client for OR network and is intended to be an improved alternative for Tor+Vidalia+Privoxy bundle for Windows users. It is able to "force" a program and its plugins to use the Tor proxy regardless of its configured proxy

1Does not look very simple. Something like winroute would be perfect if it was free– GluipSep 13, 2011 at 17:21

Vidalia has something to do with tor??? I don't want lots of small tools i have to learn about. I want an application with some settings ;)– GluipSep 13, 2011 at 17:33

It caches, but not web data (just certs). It sounds like you want to configure a web server to act as a proxy?– soandosSep 13, 2011 at 20:08
I've installed and worked with ccproxy, it's free up to 3 users and very simple to install and use, I really recommend it!
for superusers there's also another nice and totally free proxy, Polipo. It's bundled with tor,
you can download tor from Tor Project Website, Tor has three modules:
- tor
- vidalia : is used to configure tor
- polipo : is used as a proxy server, by default only local clients can connect to tor, but if you'd like you can use polipo.conf to set allowedClients for remote ones.
Good Luck!
