Proxy Builder Blog

I would just like to share with everyone the newly released (Aug 6th) Glype 0.3b Proxy Script. It looks like an extremely promising alternative to PHProxy, Zelune and other PHP-based proxy scripts with very similiar functionality. I havent tested it myself yet but I look forward to integrating and trying it out. While I was reading this post I helped myself to some prime Glype domains - I’ve found however obscure the name, people will remember quality web proxies.

Here is a list of the current features in the Glype proxy script 0.3b

• supports caching headers to allow normal browser caching
• uses a server-side cache to speed up requests for common images, files and stylesheets
• no installation needed so simply upload and go!
• setup wizard allows you to configure advanced options for your proxy with no PHP knowledge
• simple theme system provides different layouts quickly and easily
• ensure anonymity by stripping client-side scripts and preventing them from running on proxified pages.
• block access to particular sites with your choice of either a blacklist (blocks every site listed) or a whitelist (blocks every site other than the ones listed)
• ban users individually by IP address or collectively with flexible support for IP ranges
• filter bad words that may cause the entire page to be blocked if the user is subject to network restrictions (such as at school, college or work)
• strip elements from pages such as embedded audio/video or flash to conserve bandwidth

• supports Basic HTTP authentication so you can log into your protected areas

System Requirements

• PHP 5 with cURL enabled
• optional: for caching, PHP must be able to write to the cache folder

Notes Currently released as beta but tested on MySpace, Facebook, Gmail and many other sites.

As you can see there seems to be a very professional setup behind this proxy script, this market is still relatively restricted in the scripts available and more choices are certainly welcome. Time has shown however that proxy scripts can quickly come and go, unless there is dedicated development then it will be more wasted talent. I would appreciate feedback from users and other proxy webmasters on this new proxy service.
