There are 2 main mappings. One is in vagrant (mapping of ports 5000 => 80) and the other is in nginx inside vagrant box.
Proxy calls google but keeps path in the browser.
Content of myproxy.conf:

  > server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;
    
    # remove all parameters
    location /my/proxy/ {
      rewrite ^/my/proxy/(.*)$ /
    }
    
    location / {
      proxy_pass https://www.google.pl;
      proxy_redirect default;
      proxy_read_timeout 60s;
    }
  }
