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

为了搭建HTTP代理服务器，我们需要安装ipipgo服务端软件。首先，我们需要更新系统并安装pip，然后使用pip安装ipipgo。具体的安装步骤可以在网上找到很多教程，这里我就不再赘述了。

Configuring a Proxy Server

安装完ipipgo之后，我们需要对代理服务器进行配置。我们需要设置端口号、密码等参数，并且可以选择使用的加密方式。配置完成之后，我们就可以启动ipipgo服务了。

Using a proxy server

最后一步就是使用我们搭建的HTTP代理服务器了。我们可以在电脑、手机等设备上设置代理，然后就可以通过我们搭建的代理服务器进行上网了。当然，使用代理服务器也需要遵守当地的法律法规，不要进行违法的操作。

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.
