There may be times in your life where you find yourself needing to route your traffic through another location for either basic anonymity, security or just to unblock a website at school and in the workplace. Setting up a proxy server couldn’t be easier (takes less than 5 minutes), and will give you all of the above mentioned things, as well as something interesting to tell your buddies who can’t get on Totse in the library.
Download PHProxy (or another proxy service of your choice)
I usually use PHProxy for the ease of use, but you can search around Google for other alternatives. I also listed Surrogafier which is another one of my favorites.
PHProxy Download – http://sourceforge.net/projects/poxy/
CGIProxy Download (as recommended by Vineman) – http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/
Surrogafier Download – http://www.surrogafier.info/
Hosting a proxy server
You have two choices of where you host your proxy – a free web host, or you could configure your own webserver. Configuring your own server is much more fun, and gives you more physical control over the server and the proxy. If you’re looking into hosting your proxy server on Windows then download Wampserver and host it on there.
For anything else, sign up to a free website hosting service which allows PHP and upload your directory onto there. You can then use the URL which they give you to access your proxy server from elsewhere.
Is that it?
Yup, honestly. Like I said – it’s easy to host your own proxy server!
