What we need
* Web Host
In theory, any webhost will do, if they comply with the other requirements; an old computer in your basement, or even a free online webhost.
* PHP5 or greater and cURL
Look for this on the website of your webhost. If its paid hosting, you can almost count on it. Especially cURL is a feature thatll be disabled on most free webservers.
* Permission
Thats right. Some webhosts will explicitly forbid you to create a proxy server (or a chat room, for that matter) in their terms of content. And you can expect them to find out.
1. Download and Install GlypeProxy
GlypeProxy is a free, standalone PHP script. That means its lightweight and incredibly easy to configure. You can download it from their website.
Next, upload the files to a sub directory on your webserver. If you see a folder called www, or called after your domain name (e.g. domain.com) create the sub folder in there. You need to avoid using the word proxy, because some companies pick up on it. Instead, use web or surf.
There are a few different ways to upload your files. If you already know this, skip to the next paragraph. Here they are arranged from the least to the most effort.
* Upload and unpack ZIP
Look in the filemanager for an unpack or extract option. You can then upload it in one take. This is not always supported.
* FTP access
Use an FTP application to access your webhost, and let it transfer the files while you fetch some more coffee. Most often supported.
* Manual upload
You really dont want to do this are you sure the previous two alternatives are blanked out? Your last resolve will be to manually upload all the files and folder structures. Or start looking for a different host it might not be such a bad idea.
2. Ready For Use
Theres no real set-up needed. Just point your browser to the directory where you put all those files (ex. domain.com/surf) and GlypeProxy will pop up. If you dont like the logo, youll have to replace it manually. But if you want a proxy server for personal use, some little branding wont matter.
Users can enter any URL and, after expanding the options, choose to encode the URL, the page, allow cookies, scripts and objects. Encoding the page can help you access some sites that are still being picked up and intercepted, but might give you a corrupt webpage at times.
3. Admin Preferences
Although Glype is a powerful proxy script, the admin tools are obviously the backing power. You might not know this, but a lot of online proxy tools are powered by Glype, just like the one you just set up. The admin preferences leave room not only for customization, but for improvement. You can assign site-specific code for trouble-giving websites, and change user-agent and proxy lists.
Most useful to novice users will be the caching tools (pictured above), logs, and blacklists. The caching tools can help you improve the browsing speed by storing some files from all, or some of the already visited websites. Logs are off by default, but might have legal importance in the future, depending on who uses your proxy server. Always explicitly mention youre keeping these logs. Finally, the blacklists will allow you to block (all but) a few sites, or users.
To access your admin panel, point your browser to admin.php on your webserver (e.g. domain.com/surf/admin.php).
