PHP-Proxy is a web-based proxy script that allows users to access the internet anonymously through a web interface. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of installing PHP-Proxy on Manjaro.
Before we begin, you need to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
To get started, we need to download the PHP-Proxy script from the official Github repository. Open the terminal and execute the following command to clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/Athlon1600/php-proxy-app.git
This command will clone the PHP-Proxy repository in your current working directory.
Now that we have cloned the repository, we need to install the dependencies. Navigate to the project directory and execute the following command to install the dependencies:
$ cd php-proxy-app
$ composer install
The above command will install all the required dependencies for PHP-Proxy.
Before we proceed with setting up PHP-Proxy, we need to configure it. Copy the config.php.dist file and rename it to config.php.
$ cp config.php.dist config.php
Next, we need to edit the config.php file and modify the following parameters:
$config['db'] = array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '3306',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'database' => 'php-proxy',
);
Change the host, port, username, password and database parameters to match your MySQL database configuration.
We need to create a database to store the proxy server data. Open the MySQL shell and execute the following command:
CREATE DATABASE php-proxy;
Next, we need to import the configuration schema. Navigate to the project directory and execute the following command:
$ mysql -u root -p php-proxy < db/schema.sql
This command will import the database schema into your MySQL database.
Now that we have configured and set up PHP-Proxy, we need to serve it. Navigate to the root of your web server and copy the contents of the php-proxy-app directory to the root directory.
$ cp -R php-proxy-app/* /var/www/html
Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect.
$ sudo systemctl restart httpd
We have successfully installed PHP-Proxy on Manjaro Linux. You can now access the proxy server by navigating to http://localhost in your web browser.
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!
