In today's age of information technology, privacy protection and network security have become especially important. Many people choose to hide their real IP address through a proxy IP, and a dial-up VPS (Virtual Private Server) is an excellent tool to achieve this goal. So, how do you build a proxy IP via dial-up VPS? Today I'm going to take you through the process step by step.
What is a dial-up VPS?
First of all, we need to understand what dial-up VPS is.Simply put, VPS is a kind of virtual server, which splits a physical server into multiple virtual servers through virtualization technology. A dial-up VPS is a VPS that obtains a dynamic IP address through dial-up Internet access, which makes it ideal for setting up a proxy IP since the IP address will be different every time you dial up.
Preparation: Choosing the right VPS service provider
Before you start building a proxy IP, you first need to choose a suitable VPS service provider. There are many companies on the market that provide VPS services, such as Aliyun, Tencent Cloud, AWS and so on. The following points need to be considered when choosing:
- Stability: whether the server is stable, whether it will be disconnected frequently.
- Price: choose the right package according to your budget.
- Technical support: whether the service provider provides 24-hour technical support.
After selecting a service provider, sign up for an account and purchase a VPS package that suits your needs.
Configuring the VPS environment
After purchasing a VPS, we need to configure the VPS initially. Below are the specific steps:
- Log in to the management console of the VPS and get the IP address, username and password of the VPS.
- Connect to the VPS using an SSH utility such as PuTTY.
- After a successful connection, update the system software package:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
After completing the above steps, our VPS environment even if the initial configuration is complete.
Installation of dialing software
Next, we need to install dial-up software on the VPS. Here it is recommended to usepppoe
Dialing software. The specific installation steps are as follows:
- mounting
pppoe
Software:sudo apt-get install pppoe
- Configure the dialing account: edit
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
file to add the dialup account and password. - compiler
/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
file to configure dialing parameters. - Initiate dialing:
sudo pppd call dsl-provider
After successful dialing, theifconfig
command to view the acquired dynamic IP address.
Build a proxy server
After getting the dynamic IP address, we can set up a proxy server on the VPS. Here is the recommended way to useSquid
Proxy server. The steps are as follows:
- mounting
Squid
::sudo apt-get install squid
- configure
Squid
:: Editorial/etc/squid/squid.conf
file to add proxy rules. - activate (a plan)
Squid
::sudo service squid start
In this way, our proxy server is built. You can access the Internet through the proxy IP and hide your real IP address.
Testing and Optimization
After the build is complete, we need to test and optimize the proxy server. You can use an online proxy testing tool to check if the proxy IP is working properly. At the same time, you can optimize the proxy server by adjusting theSquid
configuration file to optimize the performance of the proxy server.
summarize
With the above steps, we have successfully set up a proxy IP via dial-up VPS.The process may seem a bit complicated, but if you follow it step by step, you will be able to complete it successfully. I hope this tutorial is helpful and wish you a smooth journey in the online world!
