Start Using PHP Proxy

What is PHProxy

PHProxy acts as a protective screener between the user and the internet. The server downloads the page into its memory, and then displays it to the user. From the point-of-view (in the technical sense) of the host hosting the target site, only the server visited. This means only the server's IP will be logged, and not the user's. Blocking of sites by ISPs, Firewalls will not work as well, as the user is basically accessing the proxy. However, the catch here is that the server must be able to access these resources.

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.

Using PHProxy does not require changes to the browser settings. The user simply needs to visit the page where PHProxy has been set up and use the form to view the target website.
