 Render.com offers a free tier that includes 750 hours of compute time per month.  This is enough to run a single proxy instance 24/7.  Instances shut down after 15 minutes without traffic but start up again automatically when a request is received.  You can use something like https://app.checklyhq.com/ to ping your proxy every 15 minutes to keep it alive.
