Introduction

PHP-Proxy is a free and open-source web proxy script that allows users to access content on the internet anonymously. It was written in PHP and can be installed on any web server that supports PHP. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PHP-Proxy on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

• Clear Linux Latest installed and running on your system.
• You have root access to the Clear Linux system.
• You have a basic understanding of Linux commands and terminology.

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

PHP-Proxy requires a web server that supports PHP. In this guide, we will use Apache as the web server. To install Apache and PHP, run the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add httpd php-basic

Step 2: Download PHP-Proxy

Next, download the PHP-Proxy script from the official website. You can use the following command to download the latest version:

wget https://github.com/Athlon1600/php-proxy-app/archive/master.zip

After the download is complete, extract the files:

unzip master.zip

Step 3: Move the PHP-Proxy files to the Apache folder

Copy the contents of the php-proxy-app-master folder to the Apache root directory /var/www/html/:

sudo cp -r php-proxy-app-master/* /var/www/html/

Step 4: Edit the configuration file

PHP-Proxy comes with a sample configuration file config.php.sample. Rename this file to config.php using the following command:

mv /var/www/html/config.php.sample /var/www/html/config.php

Next, open the config.php file using your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /var/www/html/config.php

In the file, look for the following two lines:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.example.com/'; // The base URL of the proxy site
$config['proxy_url'] = 'http://localhost:8080/'; // The proxy URL. Leave it as is

Replace http://www.example.com/ with your website URL, and leave the proxy_url as is.

Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, followed by Y.

Step 5: Configure Apache

To enable PHP on Apache, edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Uncomment the following line by removing the # at the beginning of the line:

LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so

Save and close the file.

Step 6: Start Apache

To start the Apache web server, use the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd

To ensure that Apache starts automatically at boot time, use the following command:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 7: Test the PHP-Proxy installation

Open your web browser and enter the following URL: http://your_server_ip_address/. You should see the PHP-Proxy homepage. Enter a website URL in the text field and click Go.

If the website loads correctly, then PHP-Proxy has been installed and configured successfully.
