PHP-Proxy is a web-based proxy script that allows users to browse the internet without revealing their IP addresses. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps you need to take to install PHP-Proxy on FreeBSD.
Before we proceed with the installation, there are a few prerequisites that we need to satisfy:
First, we need to download the latest version of PHP-Proxy from the official website. We can use the following command to download the source code:
# fetch https://github.com/Athlon1600/php-proxy-app/archive/master.zip
After the download process is complete, we need to unzip the downloaded file to our preferred location. We can use the following command to unzip the PHP-Proxy source code:
# unzip master.zip -d /usr/local/www/
This will extract the PHP-Proxy files into the /usr/local/www/ directory.
Next, we need to rename the directory where the PHP-Proxy files were extracted. We can do this using the following command:
# mv /usr/local/www/php-proxy-app-master /usr/local/www/php-proxy
We need to create a new virtual host in Apache to serve PHP-Proxy. We can do this by creating a new configuration file at /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/php-proxy.conf with the following content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/php-proxy
<Directory /usr/local/www/php-proxy>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your own domain name.
Navigate to the /usr/local/www/php-proxy/config.php file and modify the following parameters as per your requirements:
$config['url'] = 'http://example.com/php-proxy';
$config['title'] = 'PHP Proxy';
$config['password'] = 'password';
Replace example.com with your own domain name. Change the title and password parameters as per your preferences.
After making the necessary changes, we need to restart Apache for these changes to take effect. We can do this using the following command:
# service apache24 restart
That's it – you have successfully installed PHP-Proxy on FreeBSD. By following these steps, you can easily browse the internet safely and anonymously by leveraging the power of PHP-Proxy.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
