CGIProxy

CGIProxy is an awesome, free, and open-source software that you can use on different platforms. It’s built in Perl and acts as a cool anonymizing proxy that helps you bypass filters for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP connections. Basically, it’s just one simple CGI script that you can easily set up on your web server.

Why Use CGIProxy?

You might find yourself in a situation where you can only access one server. But don’t worry! With CGIProxy, you can reach other servers that are usually out of your reach. This makes it super handy when access is limited!

Features of CGIProxy

This software runs smoothly under mod_perl without any changes needed. Plus, it has some great features like:

• Text-only support to save bandwidth


• Basic ad filtering to keep things clean


• Selectively removing scripts and cookies


• Access restrictions by server


• Custom encoding for cookies and target URLs

The Versatile Proxy Solution

You can use CGIProxy as an anonymous proxy or even give you VPN-like functionality when needed. The best part? It’s super easy to install! Yet it offers tons of configuration options so you can tailor it just the way you want.

Multiple Modes of Operation

This script is quite flexible and runs in four different modes: as a FastCGI script, a CGI script, a mod_perl script, or even with its own embedded secure HTTP server. You’ll have more than 70 options at your disposal to configure everything!

System Requirements for CGIProxy

If you're wondering about system requirements: you'll need Perl version 5.6.1 or newer for the best experience. And don’t stress about hardware; this works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

Compatibility with Operating Systems

The good news? The CGIProxy script has been tested on various GNU/Linux and UNIX-like operating systems, along with Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows! So no matter what setup you've got, there's a good chance it'll work well.
