[Tutorial]Setup your elite private proxy in your VPS in 5 minutes

[zx123]

I think that a lot of people here use VPS to hosting his websites, so why not install also a private proxy on them??
You can use your private proxy for every thing (scrapebox, facebook etc.)
So let's start.
First of all this guide is for Centos 6 OS, I always use this OS, sometime debian or ubuntu, but I think that a lot of people prefer Centos.
access to your vps
write

yum update

write

yum install squid

ok now you have installed the proxy, now we need to edit the config file
the config file is located in /etc/squid/squid.conf
for easy use just rename it (to create a backup)

cp /etc/squid/squid.conf /etc/squid/squid.conf.original

and after edit it

vi /etc/squid/squid.conf

and just delete all and put this inside

http_port 3128

save and close

"http_port 3128" is the port of your proxy, you can change it
if you use Centos 64bit locate the line

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_access

and change in

auth_param basic program /usr/lib64/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_access

Now you need to create the authentication system using ncsa
so write in console

touch /etc/squid/squid_access

then

htpasswd /etc/squid/squid_access proxyadmin

"proxyadmin" is the username that you want use to access to it... you can change it
you can use this command also to change the password

now restart the proxy
write

service squid restart

and for start in automatic every time your VPS reboot write

chkconfig squid on

Now you have your privare proxy for your personal use.
this is the result

an Elite proxy

On google you can found a lot of tutorial about it, but I think none is very simple like this

 

[innozemec]

Yep, thats just what i do. It takes me no more than 5 minutes to get it all set up and running

Thanks for the detailed tutorial, should help lots of people

 

[MikePNV]

Thank you for this info

 

[wylie99]

Thanks for the tut.. informative, but I have 1 question....

Where do I enter my IP address in the config file?

I have 2 extra IP's I got from my VPS to use for this and want to set both up to use in Scrapebox and Senuke tools.
I saw somewhere how to setup many different IP's but don't remember where..


Also, what other range of ports could I use other than the default 3182?

THANKS

Wylie

 

[infoking1]

Its really useful mate. I assume the centos as to be pre instaled in the server. Could be compile some basic and useful unix command for webmaster. thanks

 

[extremeboy]

good info thanks

 

[hes21]

I'd love to know how to do this for multiple proxies (getting more from the VPS provider).
Can squid do it or do I need to look elsewhere?

 

[zx123]

This work for any IP associated to your VPS.
Example: if your vps provider give you a VPS with 3 IPs you can just change them when you setup your seo tools etc. Username and password for the proxy is the same for all your IPs

 

[ChapoGuzman]

I did everything and it didnt work for me.

can anyone help me?

 

[mrmarchuk]

So I've got a question - obviously this isn't a good idea to overdo on IPs that you currently host domains on, but is it possible to run CPanel and this proxy service in the background without affecting the websites? (other than the speed, depending on how heavily you're using the proxies).

 

[diahel]

good shere,, thanks

 

[Deleted member 162829]

How much can you get? Do get only the number that you paid for to your hosting or does it leach more IPs somehow?

 

[seodima]

Thanks. How can i made not login/pass authentication, but have access only from my home ip?

 

[SeanAustin]

Way to keep it simple. Just what I needed. However, it took me 5 minutes and 24 seconds to set up so the title of this thread is a little misleading

line 180?? the config file is not 180 lines ... LOL... for someone is hard also follow step by step a tutorial

 

[Mutikasa]

I know, that's why it makes it harder. And btw, dont underestimate
