How to generate a free proxy?

Hi guys.

I am a newbie in the whole web design field. I am doing a small website for fun (just something to test myself and see how far I can go). I just want to generate a free proxy so that my users can view the site without having to download anything on their computers. How can I do this? If it's possible, what proxy should I use? Any links or recommendations will be really helpful!

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "generating" a proxy. Can you explain a little more? Rory McCrossanOct 24 '10 at 13:36. You generate a proxy server program that is connected to your own site so that people will be able to access your site without downloading anything. Tim CuppOct 24 '10 at 13:37. 2

It sounds like you're looking for a reverse proxy. But if you just want to see what a website looks like for users, then try running on your server and using that output as your proxy server. I've never tried this with a free proxy (although I may just build one later today), but it should work.


I would recommend using a reverse proxy so your user's machines don't need to download any software to access your site. There are a couple of free options.

There's an open source one called Squid, which is available for most operating systems, including Windows and OSX. There's also . I have used that in the past and it's good if you need a small number of IP addresses to distribute to different parts of your site. They have plans for larger sites as well.

I just found out that Google provides free dynamic DNS services. You can use that if you need to dynamically assign a single IP address for your entire site.

You could host your site somewhere other than your own server as well. Like a CDN, or a service like Amazon S3.

The only downside with this last option is that you don't own or control the server where you're hosting it. But in many cases this isn't a big problem.

Can you get SOCKS5 for free?

I have a proxy server running on my machine that forwards requests through to a different machine on our network.

I'd like to be able to connect from my laptop to the proxy server and not have to put in any extra information (like host, port etc) to make the request. I was able to do this with Squid Proxy, but I want to be able to use the native http requests now.

I'm wondering if there is a way to get SOCKS5 for free? I don't know where to start with this. Is there a way to specify that the request is a SOCKS5 request? How would you do this? You could specify the socks-proxy as the proxy-protocol for the browser (or whichever proxy protocol you are using). If you are using IE6 or IE7, you can set the proxy-address to be "socks://server/path" (no IP address) to use SOCKS5. But then again, I don't think that IE6 and IE7 support SOCKS5 natively. I also wonder whether you could try setting the browser proxy-protocol to "socks5h://server/path" instead of "socks://server/path". How do you specify the socks-proxy? I'm confused because I thought that it was a parameter in the URL. I'm using squid and have a port forwarding to my machine. If I set up a socks-proxy on my machine, do I set that up in squid, or do I have to set up a socks-proxy on my machine separately? I'm very new to the whole proxy thing, so I have no idea how all this works.

Your machine has a SOCKS5 proxy running on it. This machine is the same machine as the machine that the proxy forwards to. You're trying to access the proxy machine through another machine on the network. If you're using Windows, you need to open the firewall and allow access to port 3128 on your router.

I'd really appreciate any help you can give me. I've been stuck on this problem for a while.

The SOCKS5 proxy is only listening on TCP port 1080.

How do I set up SOCKS5 proxy?

When I click on an application to open it and the application freezes, I get this message: Your connection is not private.

I have tried to google for how to fix this problem, but did not found any help. How do I make my network connections over Tor? I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 Here's a solution that works for me, I didn't try it but seems to work just fine. Open /etc/NetworkManager.d/90-tor.conf
Net.ipv4.tproxy"all=1
Net.conf sendredirects=1 net.default.eth0 lo.sendredirects=1
Add this to your hosts file to set TORIP as the ip for tor.
