Tinyproxy is a lightweight HTTP proxy server designed to run on Unix-like systems. It is easy to set up and configure and can be a useful tool for improving internet browsing speeds, as well as for filtering and monitoring web traffic. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Tinyproxy on Void Linux.
Before you can install Tinyproxy on your Void Linux machine, you must have the following:
First, you should update the packages on your Void Linux system by running the following command:
xbps-install -S
After updating your system, you can now install Tinyproxy. To install it, run the following command:
xbps-install -y tinyproxy
The -y option will automatically answer yes to any prompts that come up during the installation process.
After installing Tinyproxy, you need to configure it. To do so, open the configuration file located at /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf with your favorite text editor:
sudo vi /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf
You can change the settings in this file to customize the way Tinyproxy works. For example, you can adjust the port number, set up access controls, and specify which clients are allowed to connect to your Tinyproxy server.
Once you have made your changes, save the file and exit your text editor.
Finally, you can start the Tinyproxy service by running the following command:
sudo service tinyproxy start
If you want to stop the Tinyproxy service later, you can run the following command:
sudo service tinyproxy stop
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Tinyproxy on your Void Linux system. You can now use it to improve internet browsing speeds or to monitor and filter web traffic. Enjoy!
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!
