How to build a proxy for your website?

[Markus]

I'm not sure where to begin which the said task, not sure at all, i'm not even sure if it is in the right forum... but anyway.

I'm sick of encountering restricted websites on the college computers and would like help my friends, aswell as myself, by building one on my website.

Like i said, i have no idea how i would go about this.

Was just wondering if anyone had some info or even knows of any tutorials. I have read some articles but none have gone into depth on the design and build side.

Thanks :)

Well, if you get caught helping people to violate the rules of the school, be prepared to accept the consequences.

In PHP, just have a form field for the target URL. Then, fetch the contents using file_get_conten ts and echo them out. Very easy. You can also use one of the already available proxy web sites out there.

Haha! I'm very aware i'm bending the rules of the college but it's all fun and games :)

The problem is; all the proxy sites are blacklisted! This college isn't run idiots, you know.

And thanks, i'll read into the file_get_conten ts - never heard of that before.

Thanks again.

Most are. Hackers love Universities. :) Dummies managing dummies who have the ultimate Achilles heel: They think they know everything.

haha!

I retract my statement on them being non-idiots - the fire alarm, in the past 2 weeks, has gone off 7times because they were 'testing it and our responses to it' but each time they have been unable to turn the alarm off! Therefore, each time the bloody fire brigade have come and received not a fire but a look of bemused embarrasment from the faculty.

Agreed, all colleges are run by idiots!

And also, i can't do the file_get_conten ts ! Apparently my webserver has disabled the linking of other sites... if you get what i mean?

Dammit ¬_¬

Any ideas for a new project, anyone?

Damn it. This forum irritates me - I never get email notifications. I wish they'd fix that. It's my only complaint. Anyway, let me stop whining...

If url_fopen is off, then you're screwed on doing something on their servers. If they allow you to view other sites, then you can always get your own hosting and create a proxy. Then, they'd have to have a clue that your site is a proxy site for them to block it unless they block all websites but those in an approved list.

I'll have to get some more hosting ¬_¬

Is anyone else growing increasingly frustrated with the amount of web domains being taken by god awful advertising companies?!

It annoys the hell out of me >=[
