proxies are expensive
However, there are ways to be frugal like using VPNs that have high device limit and quality servers through wireproxy etc. Though note that this is a resource problem - would you spend your dev time figuring out how to setup your own proxy network and penny-pinch here or spend that time working on your product instead? That's why web scraping services are becoming so popular - it just handles all of this ugly mess for you (I might be bias :)

Best VPN or proxy service ?
Though if you're interested in using VPNs as proxies I recommend looking into wireproxy which turns wireguard VPNs to proxy services. As many VPN services allow 5-10 simultaneous connections you can have a pool of 5-10 proxies for your web scrapers. This is a great, cheap solution for IP-based rate limiting.

Mullvad blocked by streaming apps and certain websites
Technically you could connect to Mullvad by generating a WireGuard config and feeding it into wghttp or wireproxy and then use a proxy-switching browser extension to use the proxy only for websites that don't break
- Any plan to create a browser extension?

SSH and User-Mode IP WireGuard
tunsocks[0] might be of interest to you. It's very similar to the software mentioned by OP except in C. It uses the lwIP usermode tcp/ip stack. It doesn't itself have any VPN or tunneling support, but instead relies on raw packets being passed into and out of a pipe. It can then provide access to that network via various proxies, port forwards, and even raw packets via NAT (very useful for VMs).
