PHP-Proxy is a web-based proxy script designed to be fast, easy to customize, and be able to provide support for complex sites such as YouTube and Facebook. There have been many other proxy software scripts in the past, such as Glype, PHProxy, CGIProxy, Surrogafier, ASProxy, Zelune... but all have either perished permanently or the creator has stopped updating them. This proxy script is intended to replace all others.
If you wish to see how this proxy script works in practice on a live server, visit unblockvideos.com which is powered by this very same software application.
The main motivation behind the creation of this project is to create a better alternative to Glype which at that time was extremely lacking in many features that I wanted. Latest version of Glype can be downloaded directly from their site on their download page, but most of their site appears to be down. If that is the case, you can download Glype 1.4 directly from our servers.
Despite sharing almost the exact name, this proxy script has no relationship to the once popular PHPProxy script from whitefyre which has been officially discontinued on September 7 of 2007. However, its last version that was last updated in 2013, PHPProxy can still be downloaded from SourceForge, and it is still receving hundreds of downloads each week.
It is still usable for now, but there have been no updates or new features added to it for many years now. There are many similar function proxy scripts named "PHP Proxy", we were just the lucky ones to acquire such domain name. While PHPProxy is still being widely used, it is outdated, hard to customize, and it breaks on many popular websites such as Facebook and YouTube.
Go rent out a fresh server from somewhere like
Linode.
Then run these two commands to first install Docker, and then to install php-proxy itself:
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
docker run -d -p 8000:80 dwaaan/php-proxy
✅ Your proxy application should be accessible on port 8000.
