I want to set up my own proxy server... And am wondering what the easiest and cheapest way to do it would be...

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Well, there really is no cheap way to do this. You either have to buy a computer that is high end, and be able to afford a home T1 or T3 network.

Else, you can purchase a dedicated server from a hosting company for ~$500 a month just to be able to handle the proxy server as they use alot of bandwidth and network traffic.

Well, it's actually for my own use, so no-one else would be using it (unless they knew the exact URL)...

I have a site... It's not on a dedicated server, but if I will be the only one using it, I shouldn't need one, right?

Thanks for the info anyways...

Dedicated servers start at 70 USD/month. If you need one only for your personal use, it will be quite enough. Considering "the exact URL": if you have static IP at home you may allow access only from your IP. Also nothing prevents you from setting up basic password auth.

Yes, sorry, I guess it would be a proxy website...

I'm trying "phpproxy" at the moment, if anyone's interested... But it doesn't seem to be working.

All you need is shared hosting, and a simple script to get something like that started.

Yes, thank you...

Any takers to do the script?

I like to think I'm okay at PHP and Perl, but I am quite new at them.

Also make sure and check with your host to ensure they allow this type of script to be ran, this is not allowed within some hosts AUP.
