Best Setup For A Proxy Site And Server
Jul 29, 2008
I plan on purchasing a dedicated server to run a few proxy sites. However, i don't have a lot of Linux skills to administrate my own server. But i've always been able to figure stuff out so i feel pretty confident that i can get it going on my own. Anyways, My original idea was to use cPanel to run the web server for the proxy sites however i feel that using cpanel is not a great idea since i also wanted to maximize my servers performance and i hear cPanel can take heavy resources. So anyways, I just wanted to know what some other people here might think and if possible any recommended guides on setting up a linux webserver would also be appreciated as well.

Does anyone know if it's possible to setup a proxy server on a shared web host w/ cpanel? I just want to be able to browse using FoxyProxy from the IP of that shared web host.

somebody know is possible on some way route traffic before come to web server (apache or lighttpd)?
I want to setup lighttpd on port 80 and apache on port 81 and I want visitors to go direct to apache or lighttpd without url:81 and that must work on this way if somebody visiting url1.domain.com that go to lighttpd on port 80 and if somebody visiting url2.domain.com that go to apache on port 81 and something must route it before lighttpd and apache (and get/post must work), is this possible on some way?
I know that lighttpd and apache can do it but I don`t need it on that way!

I run a large adult vBulletin community with 70,000 members, 1/2 million posts, 186,000 attachments (a lot video), and closing in on 100 million downloads since our start some odd years ago. I've been battling keeping the site up for quite some time, and I am starting to wonder whether we shot too low on the server setup. I figure I would ask the pros here at WHT for some advice.
This is our current setup:
Site server:
Quote:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
4 Gig ram
250 Gig sata harddrive
Unix FreeBSD 6.2
Apache
MySQL server:
Quote:
CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (2666.62-MHz 686-class CPU)
Cores per package: 4
4 Gig ram
750 Gig SATA harddrive
Unix FreeBSD 6.4
Apache
Do you think the site would perform better under one server and maybe a more powerful processor? What should I be looking at exactly as far as hardware goes for this type of site. I should note we push about 2.5TB of bandwidth monthly.

I've taken the scalable approach when it comes to servers for my various sites. With shared servers, I never really worried about backup or even hard drives going down. Same goes for VPS. For some reason, when I moved to dedicated servers, I outfitted them with 74GB SATA drives in a RAID setup. My understanding is that it protects me if one drive happens to fail. I've been lucky and haven't had that problem.
I'm at the point now where I'm looking to upgrade from a VPS paying around $75 per month to a dedicated server. I can stand to be down a day if a hard drive goes, if it means $75 a month in savings. My biggest concern would be suggestions on the best way to protect myself in the event of a catastrophe.
Contacted SoftLayer about possibly adding a second server for me and honoring the price I'm paying on my old server.
Finally, both the old and new site are seeing roughly 3,000 visits per day. The server I'm considering is a Clovertown 5320 1.86 dual quadcore, 4GB RAM, RAID, 2 74GB Cheetah drives,100mbps, 2000GB bandwidth. Is this overkill or the right server for the job?

The data centre which I use, is moving all collacated servers to a brand new data centre next week, which will mean a two hour downtime for each of my servers and customer websites.
At the moment my servers utilise two nameservers on seperate servers and when the move happens all websites will be offline with an ugly error message to any visitors.
Does anyone know a good way to setup a page which would be displayed if the web server was down? I am using MS DNS.
My thoughts so far is
1. Setup a 3rd nameserver which is off site from the data centre.
2. Purcahse web hosting / vps for a month on a seperate hosting company
3. Set it up so that it accepts * to a specific IP address in IIS or apache
4. I create an index.php script which gets the host header value sent i.e. [url]and the page then displays a nice maintenace i.e
"We are sorry joeblogs.com is currently down for maintenace, we will be back online shortly".
I think my main question is do I need to setup a 2nd www record in DNS for each site and how do I ensure the 2nd dns (backup record) only gets used when the first website / server is down.

I have a program called SOCKSCAP which lets you connect to a proxy and run programs through it via proxy.
I would like to know what I need to have this setup on a server.

how to setup a private proxy (for personal use) using web host?
What script or software to install on the web host?
I heard that some web hosting company, especially for shared hosting plans, doesn't allowed that to be installed...
Is that true?
If so, anyone know which web hosting allow it? anyone have experience doing so?
For proxy, my monthly usage will be well below 1GB.
I plan to buy a shared hosting plan to do some blog, websites & proxy.

I currently have a proxy site that I wanted to move to a VPS. I need a company that will allow me to run a proxy on their VPS servers as well as a company that will give me a great low monthly price. I want it to be less then $40.00 but even thats sort of pushing it. I'd like it some where more around $20-30 a month. I defintely need great uptime and support. Also i'm looking to have cPanel on the VPS as well. Any ideas or suggestions on who to go with? The sites aren't too big but im on a shared host which claims that they have no problem with proxy sites but once it gets bigger i fear they are going to shut me down.

My system consist of Ubuntu 14.04 server running LAMP. I am running Apache 2. On the same machine I am running Shiny server and running my apps through port 4949.
[URL] ....
I also am running an additional Shiny server copy on a virtual box through port 3838. All is running very good. I have an html web page running on Apache 2. I can view it and all my apps running on both Shiny servers from any place on the web.
My concern, however is security. I have port 3838, 4949, and 80 open. How can I set up Apache to run as a reverse proxy for my both of my Shiny servers (ports 4949, and 3838) and also continue to host my web page securely.
I have also attempted to set up a self-signed certificate using the following procedure but it is not working. I used the following instructions and followed them verbatim.

How do I setup a site to use two servers? One as a mysql server and the other as a web server.
At the moment I have the site on one server. When I get the second server what steps do I need to take to make this possible?
How do I secure the mysql server to only allow the web server to connect to it?
Do I need a control panel (i.e. cPanel) software on the mysql server?

Calling on all hosting and server experts here. (If you're not an expert, still feel free to take an educated stab at this. But please leave out total made up answers or foolish answers like "Have LittleJoeShmoe Hosting services do it all for $9.99/month".)
Scenario:
If you knew or were planning on developing a site that you knew would generate millions to tens of millions of page views a day, how would you go about supporting a site of such traffic? The site would not serve up videos, but the average page size would contain up to 75-100kB. It would incorporate databases (user logins, accounts, user submitted content, server side scripting, CMS, etc.)
Don't assume anything. Don't assume you have too little or too much money. Just, what would you plan out to accomodate such a scenario?
What hosting companies would you use? Would you do it in-house and build your own datacenter? Farm out the server management? How much would it cost to implement your plan? What platform would you recommend for a site to handle this much traffic?

I am currently moving from my current dedicated servers because they simply cannot handle the load. I have a site which frequently makes it onto radio, digg and other similar sites.
I need a dedicated server that can take a beating from Digg and offline Media. For most of the month the server load is really low, the site hardly uses up anything. However, when it hits those sites, it suffers.
I am OK with using Shell, just basic tars/logs/sqldumping/httpd.conf editing/rebooting etc.. anything beyond that like installing and configuring software I cant really do.
I guess I am looking at a dedicated option (linux based) with a host that'll setup software/modules modules for me when I ask, but doesn't really need to hold my hand all the time.
How are ThePlanet.com's servers? Do they manage the servers?

I'm outsourcing some works overseas and my oversea employees are directly contacting the customer to discuss his needs. Everything is fine except when a client sees the email IP address (he is dealing with a local company, how come he is being emailed me from India or some similar places).
So I decided to create a proxy server for the oversea employees. I need the one that requires the browser setting change to have all the traffic passing through the server/VPS, therefore the IP will be the IP of the server and there's no way to find the original IP (of course no problem is it exists in the proxy server, but not showing in any way to the customer).
The problem is I absolutely have no idea how to do this.
- Can this be accomplished on a VPS or a server is required?
- Do I need a Linux or Windows OS?
- Do I need any software? If so, could you recommend some.

I have a Linux VPS where I set up Squid to use it as a proxy server from my laptop.
On a VPS with Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6, how could I do the same thing I already do with Squid on Linux?
I knew that there was an application called Microsoft Server Proxy but it was discontinued by Microsoft.

I'd like to set up my server as a proxy for my own private use, where in my home PC's browser I can tell it the server's IP, port, and the password that I set, and it will function like a normal proxy. How can I do that? What software do I need and so on.
All my servers are on Linux machines.

Does anyone have services to recommend? I simply need a proxy server so I have a private IP. Right now, my ISP assigns IPs as a pool among a lot of people, so downloading sites like rapidshare or megafile doesn't work for me.
What I need is a socks5 proxy that is available 24/7, dedicated private ip, and a fast server. Does anyone offer these types of information? What I am afaid of is that people may install keyloggers over free proxies or even some companies may do that as well,

what rules should I add to IPtables on my dedicated server to use it as a proxy for my own IP only?
For example: my dedicated server IP is: 1.1.1.1
My local IP is: 2.2.2.2
I want to setup on my browse: proxy server 1.1.1.1, port 3128
What rules should I add to iptables for my dedicated server to act as a proxy but allow this only to my local IP (2.2.2.2)?

I operate a co-located server in a US datacenter (dedicated to projects of my small business, not a hosting service.) The OS is Windows 2003 Server.
I wondered if anyone could recommend proxy server software which I could use to access the web from a US-based IP address even when I am overseas. (This would be helpful for getting streaming internet radio, which has started to block access from non-US IP addresses.)
I know there are endless proxy servers available, but most are big and complicated, with 255 irrelevant features intended for regulating the internet access of a small business. I need something much simpler, preferably placing little load on the machine. The only feature needed is access restriction so only I can use it.

Is it possible to implement reverse proxy for Sever-A through Sever-B.
The issue is let's say, Server-A is located in Network-A, and the Sever-B is located in Network-B. And the users in Network-B are allowed to access only to Sever-B while the Sever-B itself can access to Server-A. So, when the users from Network-B access to Sever-B, the traffic will be proxied through Sever-B to Server-A transparently without letting the users notice about how's the traffics go. The Server-B will be linux, thus squid is the primary proxy application to deal with. Is it possible to do with squid or it needs some other application?
How about a comparison of mod_proxy for apache vs. squid as all Sever-B should do is forward the requests coming from Network-B to forward to Sever-A and acting as a middle box between the two network scopes transparently. All the users in Network-B should do is accessing the Sever-B and the requests will be transparently going to Server-A without any configuration is done at their browser or any kind of NAT/Firewall rules on either of the networks.
