Proxy For My Repressed Readers

Monday, August 28, 2006 3:20:53 PM

For those of you living under repressive regimes (i.e., China, most of the Middle East, those with real jobs), here is something for you:

Try it: http://www.phpproxy.com/

What is PHProxy?
PHProxy is a web HTTP (for now; FTP is not supprted yet) proxy programmed in PHP designed to bypass firewalls and other proxy restrictions through a web interface very similar to the popular CGIProxy. School/country/company blocked your favorite website? Look no further!

The server that this script runs on simply acts as a medium that retrives resources for you. The only IP address shown will be the server's IP address. So basically, it is indirect browsing. The only catch being that the server has to have access to those otherwise inaccessible resources.


Or even better, get a buddy with a server install the script for you so those IT guys can't just block the above site.

I can't access some US sites from the Phils...such as the GOP.

The rest of the blog will be back as time allows. I am getting killed with the consulting job at the moment...those roundup posts take about 3 hours each so it is tough to mix them in at the moment.

And the proxy isn't just for babes...like I said, I can't reach the GOP websites from the Philippines for some reason. It comes in handy.
