Create your own proxy server for free

Hi friends today i am going to tell u how to create your own proxy server but for that i think you must be aware what are proxy servers and how they work.

What are proxy servers:::::::

In simplest words, proxy server is a server which act as an intermediate for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers

To create your own proxy server first you need PHP scripts to create a proxy sever , and for that you can search on google and find 100s of such scripts

The only limitation with PHP based proxies is that you require a web server to host the proxy scripts and second, you also need a domain name to act as an address for your proxy site.

Solution to that limitation is to use Google app engine to create proxy

Proxy Server with Google App Engine

Step 1: Go to appengine.google.com and sign-in using your Google Account.

Step 2: Click the "Create an Application" button. Since this is your first time, Google will send a verification code via SMS to your mobile phone number. Type the code and you are all set to create apps with Google App Engine.

Step 3: Choose a sub-domain* that will host your proxy server. Make sure the domain is available, agree to the Google Terms and click save. The sub-domain is also your App ID that will uniquely identify your proxy application.

For this example, we will use geniusbox-info as the App ID though you are free to choose any other unique name.

Step 4: OK, now that we have reserved the ID, it is time to create and upload the proxy server application to Google App Engine. Go to python.org, download the 2.6.4 MSI Installer and install Python.

Step 5: Once Python is installed, go to code.google.com, download the Google App Engine SDK for Python and install it.

Step 6: Download this zip file and extract it to some folder on your desktop. The zip file, for the curious, contains a couple of text files (written in HTML and Python) that you can read with notepad.

Step 7: Start the Google App Engine Launcher program from the desktop and set the right values under Edit –> Preferences (see screenshot above).

Step 8. Click File –> Add Existing Application under the Google App Launcher program and browse to the directory that you created in Step 6. Click the Edit button and replace "YOUR_APP_ID" with the ID (sub-domain) that you reserved in Step 3.

Step 9: Click Deploy and your online proxy server is now ready for use. You can experience it live
