As a tech-loving white guy, I recently learned how to build an HTTP proxy server using a VPS, and today I'm going to share my experience with you.
Choosing the right VPS
First of all, we need to choose a suitable VPS provider for purchase. When choosing a VPS, we need to consider factors such as internet speed, price, and location. I chose a VPS provider with a good reputation and selected a suitable package according to my needs.
Buying and Configuring a VPS
Next, we need to purchase the VPS and configure it. First, we need to log into the management platform of the VPS, purchase the package we need, and install and configure the system. This step is relatively simple, just follow the tutorials provided by the platform step by step. Next, we need to install the required software and services.
Installation of software and services
In order to build an HTTP proxy server, we need to install the ipipgo server software. First, we need to update the system and install pip, and then use pip to install ipipgo. specific installation steps can be found on the Internet many tutorials, I will not repeat here.
Configuring a Proxy Server
After installing ipipgo, we need to configure the proxy server. We need to set parameters such as port number, password, and we can choose the encryption method to use. Once the configuration is complete, we can start the ipipgo service.
Using a proxy server
The last step is to use the HTTP proxy server we built. We can set up proxies on computers, cell phones and other devices, and then we can access the Internet through the proxy server we built. Of course, the use of proxy servers also need to comply with local laws and regulations, do not carry out illegal operations.
summarize
With the above steps, we have successfully built an HTTP proxy server. In this way, we can have more secure and stable network access. Of course, VPS can also be used to build other services, such as building websites, file storage and so on. I hope my experience can help people who need it, and I hope I can go further and further on the road of technology myself.
