No doubt you already understand that elite proxies are the best type of proxy there is because they're the only type that can't be detected, but what most people fail to realize is that the only way to actually get real elite proxies ... ie, elite proxy IP addresses ... ie, the ones you need for utorrent, facebook, twitter, youtube, gmail, craigslist, et cetera ... is to set up an elite proxy server.

Don't let that word scare you off; servers are nothing to be scared of (especially the tiny bare-bones VPS servers we're talking about here). My 10-Minute Tutorial walks you through the simple 10-minute process step-by-step (with large screen shots to check your work against).

The whole process basically boils down to typing in the 5 or 6 short command lines that I give you, and then plugging your new IP address into your web browser's connection settings. Plus my guide also shows you exactly where to get the hosting for these cheap VPS servers (ie, a list of about 20 hosts with hosting between $6 and $10 bucks). — " He's made the whole process of setting up a proxy server completely idiot-proof!"

If You Need to Hide Your IP Address ...

Hide where you live, change your ip address, block your ip address, mask your ip address, bounce your IP address, get a new ip address, get a USA IP address, UK IP address, Canada IP address, create multiple profiles & user accounts, unblock any website ...

... bypass your ISP, stop ISP snooping & tracking, bypass school & work proxies, anonymous torrents, search anonymously, surf anonymously, private late-night browsing, unblock Gmail proxy, unblock Youtube proxy, unblock Facebook proxy, unblock Craigslist, unblock Twitter, uTorrent proxy, etc, etc, etc ...

... and do it all without being detected (ie, without anyone knowing that you're bouncing your connection off a proxy server); you can easily accomplish all this and more — by setting up your own personal proxy server.

... but not just any old run-of-the-mill private proxy server; a  really fast & undetectable , high anonymous, elite proxy server — that you never have to share with anyone else, and you never have to wait for!

* — Why Is It So Fast? — The main reason other proxies are so slow is that there are way too many people all trying to use them at the same time. Our setup (on the other hand) is totally private because you set it up yourself (and password protect it) so no one else even knows it exists.

... the other reason it's so fast is because my proxy script is tiny (it basically uses zero resources).

Imagine if you removed every program from your computer except for a tiny lightweight one like Notepad ... blazing fast, yes or no?

And at a miniscule (3.49 KB), this proxy is 19X faster than Notepad is at (67.5 KB). — Saying that this thing is 'fast' is like saying that Einstein was 'clever'.

Set Up a High Anonymous Elite Proxy Server

Set Up a high anonymous elite proxy server for yourself, in about 10 minutes. I've already taken care of all the technical stuff, so if you can copy & paste, you can easily set up a private proxy server for yourself in about 10 minutes.

This  high anonymous,  and undetectable proxy configuration is built on the open source squid3 file caching framework; the fastest, most reliable, most used, proxy server framework on the planet.

Squid3 already has a reputation for speed & reliability; combine that with the fact that you're setting this up on a totally private dedicated VPS partition and it's not hard to figure out why this particular proxy configuration has been so popular for so long (if you're not sharing bandwidth with anyone else, then you're not sharing speed & availability either).

* — FULLY UNIVERSAL SUPPORT — Works equally well with any operating system (Windows, Mac, Ubuntu) and w/ any web browser (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, IE) and any torrent client.

* — ALWAYS UP TO DATE — You never have to worry about getting an outdated tutorial because  the script automatically updates itself  when you set up the proxy.

One of the five command lines that you type in to setup the proxy is: 'apt-get update'. When you run that command line it triggers the script to run out and grab the latest stable version.

* — Advanced Users — The configuration script is pre-set to squid's default "paranoia mode" (ie, undetectable mode) parameters, but once installed, you can edit my squid.conf file to your heart's content.

What is an Elite Proxy Server?

An elite proxy server is the only type of proxy server that can hide your ip address without being detected.

Instead of using your real ip address, you just plug your elite proxy server's ip address into your web browser instead. Because then the only ip address that can possibly be transmitted is the proxy's ip address.

... So now, to anyone trying to track, log, or block you or your connection, etc, you appear to be a totally different person, in a totally different city, state, or country.

The unique characteristic of an elite proxy (over a normal anonymous proxy for example) is the fact that it's THE only type of proxy that cannot be detected. Instead of using the identification headers of a remote server; an elite proxy uses the identification headers of a residential computer connection.

Result? ... Users of elite proxies appear to be connecting from  an actual residential connection  (ie, not from a server connection). It's not exactly brain surgery, but it sure is awesome just the same ... Buy Private Proxy Server Guide

* — Please Note — This is nothing like one of those slow idiotic "web proxies" (that don't let you click links nor login to your accounts and such).

This proxy doesn't require you to go to some website to use it; all you have to do to use it is change one simple setting in your browser's connection settings (all modern web browsers have this setting now) so you just go about your business like you normally would without a proxy (your user experience isn't effected even slightly) ... in fact, I can even login to my bank account with it.

How Does a Proxy Server Work?

A "website" is nothing more than a collection of files sitting on a remote web server that someone else owns. The owner of that website/web server is kind enough to make his files available for public viewing/interacting.

And as such, it's not outrageous for that website owner to keep track of who's viewing/using his files/website, and or even block certain people from doing it.

He does all this by tracking, recording, logging, etc, the activities of every ip address that connects to his web server (and the specific files & scripts they access).

Every internet connected machine must identify itself

Imagine your cell phone as a comparison; if your cell phone didn't have its own unique number, the cell phone network wouldn't know how to find your specific phone. Every machine connected to the internet must identify itself to all the other machines on that same network (in this case, the internet "network"). It does this by broadcasting its own unique ip address (internet protocol address).

Every machine connected to the internet has its own unique ip address (think of it like your cell phone's phone number, the vin number on your car, the street number of your house, or the social security number branded across your backside).

Each ip address on the network represents a different machine on that same network. The word "machine" can represent a number of different things obviously; a personal computer, a gaming console, a smart phone, a web server, a remote storage server, or in our case, a remote proxy server. EVERY machine MUST have its own ip address; if it doesn't, then the other machines in the network will NOT allow it to connect. Just like if your cell phone didn't have a phone number, you couldn't call anyone, and no one could call you.

Direct Connection:

The way you use the internet now (without a proxy server) is called a direct connection. Your web browser makes a direct electronic connection to the remote web server of the website you're visiting. If your web browser identifies itself properly (ie, by broadcasting its ip address) then the web server will let you connect to it, view, and interact with its files.

Proxy Connection:

Okay, so now we're getting to the good stuff, and you can probably see where all this is leading, and how simple this whole thing really is. If you want to be anonymous online, then you obviously don't want to broadcast your own machine's ip address. But you do have to broadcast something, or else (as just discussed) you won't be allowed to connect. The answer becomes quite obvious, right? You need to use some other machine's ip address instead of your own real one. Just for fun, lets call that other machine a proxy server. The word "proxy" just means "stand-in" or "substitute", and a "server" is just a computer. So a "proxy" "server" is just a "stand-in" "computer".

If we use our cell phone comparison from above, and you wanted to call someone anonymously, all you'd have to do is borrow your buddy's cell phone and make your call from his number instead of your own. But obviously it's not real convenient running out to use your friend's computer every time you need to be anonymous online, so you need a "friend" you can rent a "stand-in" computer from, and it just so happens there are hundreds of companies out there that will let you do that exact thing very cheaply. They're called "Remote Server Hosting Companies".

What is Remote Server Hosting?

A remote server is just a computer server that you access remotely, or "virtually", as in "the virtual world", as in "the internet" (ie, you access it/connect to it, via the internet). There are all sorts of different uses for remote servers, one of which, as discussed above, is for website hosting; a website owner rents a remote server, uploads his files (web pages) to it, and now we casually refer to it as a "website". Another remote server use would be as a remote storage server. For example, if you've ever used a service like Carbonite online backup, they let you upload your computer files to their remote servers as a way to store a copy of them securely in case you accidentally loose the originals on your own computer.

Remote servers come in all sorts of different configurations and sizes, but in general they all start out with the same basic components; a hard drive, an operating system, and you guessed it, an ip address. The smallest (and thus, cheapest) versions of these remote servers are called "Virtual Private Servers".

A VPS is basically just a really small remote server. It's really small because it's actually a partition sectioned off from a larger server. For all intents, a VPS functions identically to the way a full dedicated server does; it has its own independent hard drive, operating system, and, ip address.

Typically these tiny VPS's are used by website developers to test out their sites on before setting them live on bigger (ie, more expensive) servers. Typically a web developer is the only person accessing the test site, so he doesn't need the server to have all the gadgets and resources a bigger more expensive server would have; basically he just needs a bare metal box with an operating system, a small hard drive, and an ip address (so that he can find the server when connecting to it from his own computer over the internet, to see how it looks and functions when viewed from a web browser).

Why is a VPS Ideal for Setting Up a Proxy Server?

The same reasons that make a remote vps server ideal as a remote development server, make it even more ideal as a remote proxy server (because a proxy server requires even fewer resources). It's tiny, it's cheap as hell, and it's not loaded up with a bunch of useless bells and whistles to waste valuable computing and bandwidth resources.

A proxy script is extremely small; basically all it does is forward requests. For example, [pretend that you've already set up your private proxy server]; when you type http://www.elite-proxy-server.com into your web browser, your web browser sends that "request" to your remote proxy server, your proxy server then "forwards" that exact "request" to my website server, my web server delivers up that "requested" webpage, returns it to your proxy server, which then forwards it back to your web browser. The proxy server (ie, proxy script sitting on the proxy server) didn't actually have to do anything other than pass your request through itself. However,...

The Real Magic of Elite Proxy Servers

The real beauty of this is that my web server doesn't have a clue that you were ever there. Why? Because you never actually were there. YOU never actually connected to my web server. Your proxy server connected for you! Ahhha ... yeah now you get it ... pretty friggin' sweet 'ay?

The proxy server is the only machine that connects, so the proxy server is the only machine that needs to identify itself (ie, your proxy server is the only machine that has to serve up its ip address).

* Note: Connecting through a proxy server, and sending all your internet requests through it, may sound a bit complex, but in reality; the whole process happens in the background and doesn't effect the way you normally use the internet because all modern web browsers have a "proxy server setting" to change your ip address to a proxy server's ip address instead of the one your isp gives you. So once you've set up your proxy server, all you have to do to accomplish all this connecting and requesting, is change that one setting in your web browser. As far as your user experience; your web browser will work exactly as it does without a proxy server. All that connecting and requesting is done in the background, so you can use your web browser exactly the same way you use it now.

* — If you don't already know how to do that; as an example, to do it in Firefox, Click: tools > options > advanced > network > settings; then just select the "Manual Proxy Config" radio button under the "Configure Proxies to Access the Internet" heading, and paste in your proxy server's ip address.

Need to Hide Where You Live?

So in that example (just above) imagine that you live in Boston, but the remote vps you rented (and turned into a proxy server) is sitting in a data center somewhere in Chicago. Now when I go looking through my visitor ip logs (or if I have a filter setup to block ip addresses from Boston, or something like that) all I see is that some machine from Chicago connected to my site (because in reality, that IS exactly what happened).

Are you starting to see how absolutely gorgeous this thing is?

When you set your web browser to connect through your proxy server instead of connecting directly like all the other saps are, YOUR MACHINE never actually connects to ANYTHING directly (except to your private proxy obviously). Now if you can't see the endless possibilities of appearing to be multiple different people, from multiple different locations (cities, states, countries) then I have absolutely no idea how the hell you found your way here to my specific site.

Is this a Private Proxy Server?

Yes, of course it is, anything else would be practically useless; slow as hell & choppy. You're setting up the proxy server yourself, so as long as you don't tell anyone else about your proxy server (or more specifically; as long as you don't give anyone your proxy server's ip address, username, and password) no one else can use it, no one else even knows it exists; you're not sharing bandwidth, you're not getting the proxy's ips burned and blacklisted, and you're not worrying about whether the proxy server will still be in existence when you need to use it. Each ip address you set up is password protected by you by default as part of the process. And if you've set up multiple ip's on the same proxy server, you can either use the same password for all of them, or give each one its own unique password. Either way, this is your own personal, private proxy server; so no one else even knows it exists, let alone what its ip addresses, usernames, and passwords are.

The Ultimate 'Unblock Facebook' Proxy Server

As you're likely starting to understand; not all proxies are created equal. Web based proxies for example don't let you login to online accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Gmail et cetera, but when you setup your own private elite proxy server it becomes the absolute best 'unblock facebook proxy server' you could ever possibly have (not to mention any other online account type website, like an 'unblock twitter proxy' or an 'unblock gmail proxy').

And Don't Forget About Setting Up Multiple Facebook Accounts, multiple Twitter accounts, multiple Gmail accounts, multiple Craigslist accounts, and on, and on, and on ...

Need Multiple IP Addresses?

You can set up as many different proxy servers as you want, and you can even set them up in a bunch of different cities, and a bunch of different countries if you want. In fact, you can even add multiple ip addresses onto the same proxy server. I recommend multiple servers (over multiple ips on the same server) but that's mostly just a personal preference because I like to have my ips spread around over a bunch of different places (because I just think it looks a lot more "natural" that way; plus if you ever get one of your ips tagged or something, you can just drop that particular ip, cancel that server account, get a new server account with a new ip, and then just start fresh all over again) but you can experiment to your hearts content and set up as many as you want, and as often as you want. With remote vps hosting under about $10 bucks a month, the only real limitation is ROI...

* — For those of you in Rio Linda; ROI is "Return On Investment"

How Much Is All This Going to Cost?

Obviously I'm not marketing this thing as a money making tool, but let's face it; if you're looking to hide your ip address (other than just for basic personal browsing & search engine privacy) it's likely that it ultimately has something to do with either making money, or saving money, so just do some quick math...

What's the ROI of posting multiple ads? What's the ROI of multiplying your link building efforts & search engine traffic? What's the ROI of being able to create multiple profiles & user accounts?

My tutorial (that shows you how to load my elite proxy script onto the vps, and that also has a list of about 20 vps hosting companies with plans at, or under $10 bucks a month to get you started) is only $15 bucks. And, as mentioned, remote server hosting varies depending on the host you use, but the tiny bare-bones setup we need typically costs somewhere around the $6-$10/month range.

For example, the host I use most often has one for only $5.99. That's probably a bit cheaper than typical, but if you shop around a bit you can find some really good pricing. The hosting companies are marketing these things to website developers, so very often they'll have at least one box with an extremely cheap price as a "loss leader" to get developers in the door with a really cheap price on a development server (because eventually they know he's gonna need bigger and bigger servers) and if he's a successful developer he's also going to need more and more servers for his growing number of customers and their websites. — We can take advantage of these "loss leader" deals because WE never need to upgrade, WE never need a bigger server (Elite Proxy Server FAQ).

What is an Elite Proxy?

An elite proxy is an anonymous http/https proxy with a giant added bonus: It's Un-Detectable. Not only does an elite proxy hide your ip address like a normal anonymous proxy does, it also goes a giant step further and also hides the fact that you're using a proxy. And thus, an elite proxy is the only type of proxy that CANNOT BE DETECTED.

Elite Proxies Explained

Like any other anonymous proxy; high anonymous (elite) proxies are used to change your ip address from the one your isp gives you, to the one of the server you set up your elite proxy on, so that it looks like the proxy's ip address is really your ip address. You accomplish this by setting your web browser to connect to the proxy server, and then having the proxy server go out and get the webpages you want instead of getting them with your own computer directly. In this way, all the website sees is the ip address of the proxy server, instead of your real ip address, because your computer never actually connected to anything directly (the proxy server connects to everything for you).

Normal Anonymous Proxies

(on the other hand) make no effort to hide the fact that you're doing everything just described. They allow everyone to see exactly what you're doing (ie, they allow everyone to see that you're directing all of your requests through a proxy server to protect your own ip address from being logged). High anonymous elite proxies, on the other hand, go a step further than normal anonymous proxies, and also hide themselves (ie, your elite proxy appears to be an actual residential personal computer instead of an intermediary server). A normal anonymous proxy exposes itself to be a server (and thus, a "proxy" server) but elite proxies show the electronic signature of a residential connection rather than a server connection. Result? No one can detect that you're changing your ip address by redirecting all your requests through a server; electronically it looks exactly as it would look if you were connecting directly.

Elite Proxy Uses

Use elite proxies in any situation that you do not want your home computer's ip address and geo-location being tracked and logged. For example, for visiting websites that you don't want anyone to know you're visiting. Or for entering search queries that you don't want anyone knowing about. Or for bypassing your isp, and downloading things you don't want anyone knowing about (torrents, movies, etc..). Or for setting up multiple user accounts at user submitted content sites. Or for accessing websites or website features that have been blocked; either by the websites themselves, or by your isp, your company, your school, or even your government. The list goes on and on; just think of any situation in which you want to protect your privacy & be anonymous online.

Elite Proxy Benefits

As discussed; the benefit of high anonymous elite proxies over regular anonymous proxies, is that in addition to being able to change your ip address to the proxy server's ip address, you're also hiding the fact that you're doing it (ie, elite proxies are undetectable so it appears exactly as it would if you were connecting directly without a proxy).

Elite Proxy Options

If you want to change your ip address without anyone knowing that you're changing it (ie, if you want your own personal private high anonymous elite proxy server) there's really only one option; Get a dedicated remote-server, hosting account, and set up an elite proxy on it (using my ten minute tutorial if you don't already know how to do it yourself). This page explains how: How to Connect to a Remote VPS Server via the Free PuTTY SSH Client/Program. The cheapest and easiest way to to do that is by renting a remote dedicated VPS (virtual private server). A bare bones unmanaged VPS account can easily be found for less than about $10 bucks.

Elite Proxy Costs

The only real cost associated with having your own private proxy server, is the monthly server hosting fee to the vps hosting company. And as just mentioned; that's typically less than about $10 bucks/month. Unmanaged vps server partitions come with one ip address already on the server, but if you want the option to have more than one ip address on your proxy server, then "extra" ip's generally cost an additional dollar or two per extra ip.

Elite Proxy Tools

After your private proxy server is all setup, there are a few tools that I recommend you use with it. The first tool is the Multiproxy Switch Firefox Add-on, and the other tool is the Maxa Flash Cookie Remover (both free btw). Multiproxy Switch makes it very easy to switch back and forth between your real ip address and your proxy server's ip address(es), and also clears your web browser's tracking cookies for you when you switch ip's. The Maxa tool is useful for removing the more elusive flash cookies (super cookies). If you don't understand cookies; basically they're just little tracking beacons that websites embed on your computer to keep track of your activities. So if you switch ip's without deleting your tracking cookies; instead of identifying you from your ip address, websites will identify you from those tracking beacons (cookies). So it's absolutely imperative that you delete your tracking cookies every time you change your ip address.

Is Using an Elite Proxy Legal?

That pretty much depends on what country you're living in. If you're in the USA, Canada, UK, Japan, and other such semi-non-cencoring countries, then yes, an elite proxy is completely legal to use. Check the laws in your particular country to be certain though. I'm pretty sure they're illegal (or at the very least, highly frowned upon) in most of the highly restrictive big government type countries ... China, Venezuela, NY, San Francisco

How Does a High Anonymous Elite Proxy Server Hide My IP Address?

A high anonymous (elite) proxy server hides your ip address by allowing your normal web browser to automatically connect to the proxy server (and thus, pick up the server's ip address) before it connects to the rest of the internet (ie, before it connects to the sites you need to hide your ip address from). As a result, the only ip address those websites get to see is the ip address of the proxy server. And if you choose to put multiple private ip addresses on the same proxy server (or if you set up multiple proxy servers) then you can switch your browser's connection settings to any one of those multiple ip's anytime you like, and as often as you like (and thus, you can appear to be multiple different people). And if you set up those multiple high anonymous elite proxies with different hosting companies (in different cities, or different countries) not only can you appear to be different people, but you can now also appear to be different people in different cities or different countries (ie, different geo locations). Can you imagine the possibilities? Since you've found your way to my little site here; I'm guessing you already have ... good work

Are Highly Anonymous Elite Proxies Really Undetectable?

Yes. In fact, an elite proxy server is the only type of proxy server that is undetectable (and very likely the exact reason why you're here). Normally servers use the identification headers of a server (which, obviously, is how they are detected as being servers) but elite proxies don't use the identification headers of servers, they use the same identification headers that regular old residential pc's use. And I don't mean that we just mask the headers, or cover them up somehow; I mean that we literally (physically) go directly into the root directory of the server (in this case the remote vps server) and replace the actual file that directs the identification packets that get sent out. If you follow my tutorial to set up one of these elite proxy servers yourself, you will actually be able to see it happening, because you will literally be removing the file yourself (this is the command you'll be typing in to remove it [rm squid.conf] "rm" is short for "remove" and "conf" is short for "configuration file") and then calling up my new pre-written replacement for it, ...and then actually plugging your new private ip address(es) directly into the new squid.conf file yourself). Note: this might not be completely 100% technically accurate because in some cases I have a script inside a script, and thus the script inside the script may remove and call up the new squid.conf file on it's own, thus, saving you from having to actually type in those two extra commands, but I think you get the idea. Learn How to Set Up a Proxy Server

One Word of Warning However

; Although elite proxies themselves are undetectable, NO proxy can protect you if you forget to clear out your web browser's tracking cookies each time before you change your ip address. The proxy itself will technically still be undetected, but websites can do the math and make an educated guess that you're using some type of proxy (because their tracking cookie has now logged two different ip addresses from the same cookie) and since they can't detect the proxy itself, they will assume that it's elite. None of this is an issue however, if you simply clear out your browser's cookies each time before you switch ip addresses. I use a great little Firefox add-on called Multiproxy-Switch that does all that for me automatically anyway, so I don't have to worry about forgetting. But even if you ever do happen to forget to clear out your cookies, it's not the end of the world anyway (if you know how to set up elite proxies for yourself that is) because you can easily just add another new ip address to your proxy server (or even just set up a totally new proxy server) and be up and running again within a few minutes. The tutorial download shows you how to add new ip addresses to the proxy server very easily, and anytime you want.

Can't I Just Set Up an Elite Proxy Myself w/out Paying the $15 bucks for Your Tutorial & Scripts?

Sure, here's the link to the free version http://www.deckle.co.za/squid-users-guide/Installing_Squid (ie, the actual squid cache installation guide) it's only about 40 bazillion pages long, and not even slightly cryptic ... wink, wink). Go ahead and take a peek ...and then let me know if my 10-minute tutorial (with only 5 command lines to paste in) is worth the $15 bucks. Although that is serious (ie, that really is the squid installation guide) you may have figured out that I'm actually just trying to make a little point here. That thing is so incredibly cryptic that I myself barely have a clue what the hell they're talking about. No offense to them, btw, it's perfect for the audience they wrote it for, but to the average web surfer, website owner, internet marketer, et cetera; it's absolutely ridiculous. There are two main reasons I charge $15 bucks for my tutorial (which is phenomenally cheap to begin with btw). The first reason is because I don't want to load up this site with all those ridiculous flashing ad banners and ad text blocks. The second reason is because I spend about 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, writing all these endlessly repetitive pages about elite proxies, so that when you went searching for it, you were able to find it. That's not a complaint by the way (I'm doing that more for myself than for you) it's just a reminder that I'm not just sitting here twittling my thumbs all night watching the money roll in. Which brings up another good point by the way; this page isn't 10 feet long because I want you to keep reading forever and ever. It's ten feet long because if it wasn't, you never would have found it. When you set out to build yourself an elite proxy, or when you set out to learn how to hide your ip address, you never would have found this site if google hadn't liked how long and relevant it was. I've already told you pretty much everything you need to know about elite proxies; in fact, if you had spent the same amount of time reading my ten minute tutorial; you'd already know how to set up your own elite proxy server ... seriously.

What's Included in the Ten Minute Elite Proxy Tutorial?

The price for the proxy tutorial is $15 bucks, and includes very exact step by step instructions for turning a cheap bare-bones VPS into a high anonymous elite proxy server. There are screen shots showing exactly what to do, and what it should look like after you've done it. It also has simple instruction for filling out a vps hosting order form, how to find the cheapest vps hosting plans, and even a list of potential vps hosting companies to get you headed in the right direction. The tutorial is in .pdf format and it's only about 15 pages long, but that's with a pretty big font size, and lots of screen shots. The actual setup part only takes up about one page (because it's basically just the 5 command lines you need to type in. And the other critical section is only about a page long too; that's the section that shows you how to edit a few lines in the squid configuration file for multiple ip addresses on the same vps server (if needed). The rest of the pages are basically just me explaining what we're doing, showing how to connect to the vps via SSH, showing how to change your ip address in your browser when you're done, and a few pages talking about vps hosting companies. There's also a basic trouble shooting page just in case you have any trouble, but that's not even very long, because the only thing that can really go wrong after it's already set up and working, is if the hosting comapany's server's go down, and that's so rare I probably didn't even need to include it (basically you just rebuild it, not a big deal, 10 minutes tops). The most important part though, is included, but it's not technically in the tutorial itself, because it's my scripts, and they're stored on my server (which is why you have to type in those 5 command lines, because those command lines will instruct the vps to download and install my scripts, instead of you having to do it manually). By the way, that right there is what took this tutorial from being the 30 minute proxy server setup that it used to be, to only being the 5 or 10 minute proxy server setup that it is currently (ie, you don't have to actually download, install, nor configure anything to the server like you used to have to, now my scripts do it all for you) — Download the 10 Minute Elite Proxy Tutorial

Will Elite Proxies Make Me Rich beyond My Wildest Dreams?

Probably not. Elite proxies are pretty cool, and if you use your imagination, they can certainly be incredibly useful in your business efforts, but it is still just a tool. Depending on why you're here, and what you're trying to accomplish with this, elite proxies will very likely prove to be one of the most useful tools you could ever use ... but the getting rich part will depend on how creative and skillful you get at using it (funny question though thanx).

Will Hiding My IP w/ Elite Proxies Turn Me into a Shotgun Toting, Privacy Freak Libertarian?

Hopefully!

Every Proxy I've Ever Used Has Been Incredibly Slow; Are Private Elite Proxies Fast?

The fact that these are elite proxies has nothing to do with speed, but the fact that they're "private" proxies on the other hand, has everything to do with speed. Open/Public proxies are incredibly slow (obviously) because there are hundreds (if not thousands) of other people from all over the planet all trying to use them at the same time (which is also why they're so incredibly unreliable, and go down so quickly). Probably the single biggest reason for setting up your own personal/private proxy is to avoid those slow sketchy public proxies. Now a private proxy server won't necessarily make your connection any faster, and in some cases it might even slow it down a tiny bit, but compared to normal (non-private open/public) proxies; a private proxy is blazing fast.

I Need to Set Up a Torrent Proxy for Downloading with Torrent Clients Like uTorrent.

Setting up your own personal elite proxy server is perfect for users of torrent clients like utorrent. You set up the proxy server (to work as a torrent proxy) just like everyone else does, but instead of changing the connection settings in your web browser, you change the connection settings in your torrent client program (utorrent for example). The end result of using a torrent proxy server is that you bypass your ISP, so that they cannot monitor, track, record, nor block your torrent downloading activities. In effect, the elite proxy server is actually downloading the torrents for you so that your ISP has no idea what you're doing. That may sound like it would be complex, but in reality, after you set up the proxy server (using my simple 10 minute tutorial) all you have to do is set your torrent client to connect through the proxy's ip address, instead of through the ip address your ISP assigned you. That's as simple as typing the ip address, port#, username and password into the "Use Proxy Server" section of the connection settings in the torrent program. — Screenshot & More Information: Set Up a Torrent Proxy Server for Downloads

Is Setting Up Proxy Server Expensive?

My current personal elite proxy server costs me $6/month. That $6 is the monthly hosting fee for the remote vps server (which is paid to a vps hosting company, and is the only recurring expense). Other than that hosting fee, the only other expense is the $15 (one-time fee) to learn how to setup the proxy server with my tutorial. Not all hosting companies charge exactly $6, but generally speaking, a bare-bones unmanaged vps server with the tiny amount of resources needed to run a proxy script on, is less than about $10/month. If you want multiple ip addresses; generally they will cost an extra dollar or two per month, per extra ip address. The price is mostly dependent on how much bandwidth you'll need. For an average web surfer, the $10 range (usually about 100GB of bandwidth) is more than enough, but if you're using the proxy server for downloading lots of large files like videos (such as torrent downloads) you may need a bit more bandwidth than that, and thus may end up paying somewhere up around 15 or 20 per month. But, as stated, my current hosting fee is $6/month, and I never go online without connecting through the proxy server (roughly 10-16 hours per day) I don't do all that much downloading though. — More Information: Setting Up Proxy Servers of Your Own

How to Set Up a Proxy Server — Your Own Private Proxy Server, On a Remote VPS

. The First Step to set up a proxy server connection of your own is to get yourself a dirt cheap remote hosting account. This is a simple matter since VPS hosting companies now rent private remote server partitions very cheaply (typically for less than about $10 bucks per month). This is important because these partitions (called remote virtual private servers) come with their own private ip address already on them. If you don't already know this; the goal of using a computer proxy (ie, private proxy server connection) is to replace, or change, your ip address, to the ip address of the private "proxy" server. And changing your browser/computer proxy settings couldn't be easier. In this way, you keep your ip address safe, and your geographic location also remains safe (hidden). Since the VPS has it's own ip already, the only real work involved in creating your own computer proxy connection is setting up the vps to allow you to connect to it, before you connect to the rest of the internet (see elite proxy list uses). — Private Proxy Server Costs — Private Proxy Server Options The effect of changing your computer proxy settings, and connecting first through the elite proxy server, is that the private proxy connection actually goes out and grabs the webpages you want, instead of your browser going out and getting them directly. This is important because it allows you to keep your hands clean, so to speak; you never actually connect to anything directly, and thus, you were never actually there, and thus, again, you could not have left any tracks (ie, you could not have left any record of having been there, because you never actually were). The graphic below obviously explains this much better than I can, but I think you're starting to see the possiblities here. The elite proxy list of possible uses is pretty much limitless. The goal is to keep your ip anonymous, and all of your online activity hidden (ie, completely protect your privacy online). Elite proxy lists come and go ... this has been working for decades. Now playing around trying to configure a remote proxy server to allow you to connect to it, will probably intimidate most of you, but I'm here to tell you that you really shouldn't let it, because there are no actual skills required to set up proxy server of your own (unless you count using copy paste, and typing a few short lines of pre-defined code, "skills"). For example, renting the cheap remote vps server takes no more effort or skill than ordering a book on amazon would. Once you've rented the vps, things get a bit more intricate, but nothing an average ten year old couldn't handle (seriously). The control panel for the vps is accessed via your regular web browser (in essence, the vps has it's own private web page, ie, proxy url). When you arrive at the control panel, it's just a bunch of icons, and there are only two icons needed for our purposes (most of the other icons are for people who use vps's to set up private websites). The two icons needed by us are the "File Mangager" icon, which just opens up a list of pre-installed files and folders (very much like the folder system on your pc). The second icon is the "Console Access" icon. This area isn't something most people are familiar with, but it basically just lets you type commands directly to the server (if you've ever used the command prompt on your pc, it's very much like that, except that I tell you exactly what to type into it, so there's no guess work or thinking required). The process to set up proxy server of your own (set up elite proxy server that is) via these icons is as follows. You click on the file manager icon, scroll down to a certain folder and open it up. From there you scroll down to another certain folder inside that first folder and open that as well. Then you scroll down to a certain file, and click on it. The file will open up in a built-in text editor. All you have to do is highlight all the script that's in the file, delete it out, and then paste in our new scripts, click save, and that step is done. There are two other steps almost identical to this one, and then there are two other steps that utilize the console access icon. Those steps just involve typing in a bunch of command lines that I supply. UPDATE: I've now simplified the heck out of this whole thing. I've updated the Proxy Tutorial so that it no longer requires the use of a control panel. So those last couple of lined-out paragraphs above about control panels, icons, file managers, and such is now obsolete. The only work now required by you to set this up, is to type in 5 short command lines (seriously ... that's it, 5 short command lines). I've embedded all that other stuff into the actual scripting; so when you type in the 5 command lines, the script will actually do all that other stuff for you automatically (ie, all that stuff you used to have to do manually in the old version of this tutorial, is now done automatically by the scripting). ... and (as you may have already figured out) that's exactly why this is now a 10 MINUTE proxy tutorial, as opposed to the 20 or 30 minutes it used to take when you had to do all that stuff manually with a control panel. In addition to making the proxy setup that much faster, the main reason I made those changes, is that you are no longer limited to vps hosting companies that use a specific control panel, because we no longer use a control panel (we use the free PuTTY SSH client to do EVERYTHING instead).—If you care; this page explains how: Connect/Configure Remote VPS w/ SSH (PuTTY) And thus (as you may have already deduced for yourself) this basically multiplies the number of vps hosting companies that you can use exponentially. The only vps hosting requirement now is that is has a Ubuntu distro. w/ "root" access (any version). Once the computer proxy (private proxy server) is created (ie, configured to allow you to connect through it) all that's left to do is plug the private proxy ip address into your web browser in your web browser's connection settings area (there's a Screen Shot of that floating around here somewhere, on a few different pages). Then you just go about your business surfing the web as normal, but totally private, anonymous, and undetectable now. That's the "elite" part in all this. "elite" proxies identify themselves to the network as residential pc's, so that no one will even know that you're using a private proxy server (ie, no one knows that you're hiding your ip address and where you live). — Why is Your Elite Proxy Server Tutorial So Cheap? Because more than 90% of the people that hire me to set up elite proxy servers for them, do so after getting the tutorial, and then deciding that they'd rather just hire me to do it. This is likely because when you hire me to set it up for you, I also find the hosting, so you don't have to worry about doing that either.

Learn How to Set Up Proxy Server of Your Own

If you don't mind; let me be blunt for a second. I already know how to build elite proxy servers, and you obviously don't (yet). It takes me about 5-10 mins to do it, but it'll take you longer to set up proxy server the 1st time; but this thing is so easy to follow, a ten year old could probably do it. So you can either spend your time reading through endless pages of incredibly repetitive, google attracting, keyword stuffed articles, or you can save yourself all that reading; because This "Set Up Your Own Elite Proxy Server Tutorial" Shows You Exactly How to do it. Get the idea? ... let's not waste each other's time here. This thing does exactly what it says it'll do, but reading through all these incredibly repetitive webpages isn't going to get your private proxy setup any sooner, but this will. — Download Now

How to Get Proxy Connection & New Proxies

How to get proxy connection, and thus new proxies, is easily accomplished using a VPS proxy connection (as discussed throughout this entire page and site). Getting new proxies is a simple matter of adding new ip addresses to your vps proxy setup, and then your normal web browser is now a private proxy browser (ie, a proxy for browsing the web anonymously and privately). This one little proxy program creates what's called a proxy tunnel. More specifically, it's an http proxy server connection, or https proxy server connection, also known as an internet proxy connection, computer proxy connection, etc., ... but the two most important ones to remember are elite proxy server connection, and private proxy server connection.

UnBlock Proxy, Computer Proxy, Bypass Proxy, Private Proxy & Unblock ANY Websites

Very short elite proxy list of popular websites that are easily bypassed with a private elite proxy server: UnBlock Gmail Proxy, UnBlock Orkut Proxy, UnBlock YouTube Proxy, UnBlock FaceBook Proxy, UnBlock MySpace Proxy, UnBlock Twitter Proxy, UnBlock RapidShare Proxy, UnBlock ANY Website Proxy (and download anonymously, stream anonymously, watch videos anonymously, download music anonymously, download torrents anonymously, gambling poker proxy anonymously, visit any websites anonymously, seach on search engines like google anonymously, etc). Elite proxy lists of possiblities are pretty much endless. As discussed above, while using your own personal elite proxy server connection, you do NOT actually make direct contact with any websites you visit through your computer proxy (private proxy server). The private proxy connects to them for you. Websites get blocked by their web address (url). For example, let's say your boss/employer has set up a filter-proxy / block-proxy, for gmail.com, orkut.com, youtube.com, twitter.com, facebook.com, myspace.com. Now when you try to acess any of those sites DIRECTLY, the block-proxy sitting between you and the rest of the internet, first filters your request, and will block you from those specific websites. It's important to understand that they do that by using the actual address name of the website and or sometimes even the ip address of the website (yes, websites/web servers also have their own ip addresses). What all this means is that in order for your boss or school (or government, or ISP) to block those sites, they need to know, and very clearly specify, exactly which url web addresses to block (they have to physically type the the exact web address url into the blocking-proxy). So can you now see how this works? You never have to actually go directly to those web addresses that they block. Your private proxy server (computer proxy connection, unblock proxy connection) goes to them for you. It's true that you do type the actual url into your browser's address box, but in the background, your browser is actually connecting to your computer proxy url first, and then sending your requested url address to your unblock proxy, so that the private proxy connection will go there for you. Now technically, they could possibly block the ip address of your private proxy server (ie, they could type your unblock proxy's ip address into their blocking-proxy) but not if they don't know what it is, or that it even exists.

Why Elite Matters:

This is one of the big reasons that the computer proxy connection (private proxy server, unblock proxy) you use to bypass & unblock websites is an elite proxy server, because "elite" identifies itself to the network as being a residential pc. Result? To anyone snooping into where you go online, it appears exactly as if you are ONLY connecting to some residential personal computer, NOT to a website. When your online activities are logged by the blocking proxies, they are logged by their ip addresses, and NOT by their actual url. For example, your surfing log will simply be a long list of ip addresses, of which, your "residential pc" (computer proxy ip) will not look any different than any of the other ip addresses being logged (ie, it doesn't stand out in any way) and thus your personal proxy ip blends right in with all the rest of them. And even if by some weird twist, someone decides to pick your private proxy ip out of a hat and examine it more closely, all that they can figure out is that it's the ip of a residential pc (so again, that wouldn't raise any flags anyway). Note: I'm obviously going to the extreme here, because typically (especially if they already have a blocking proxy in place) no one is likely to go scouring through endless pages of ip logs trying to find some random ip (it would be pretty extreme for them to do that) but even if they did ... so what? Even in the strangest circumstances (like if you lose your mind and admit to using an elite proxy server connection, and even tell them your private proxy's ip address) even then, there is still no possible way for them to know what you used your personal proxy connection for (ie, that you went to gmail, youtube, orkut or facebbook with it). End Result: You can bypass their blocking-proxy, and go to any websites you want, and no one will ever know.

USA Proxy Servers?: Yes, You Definitely Can Get Your Own USA Proxy Servers

Other than real estate agents and such posting multiple ads on Craiglist (ie, craigslist proxy) the majority of our clients use our elite proxies to get their own USA IP Addresses (ie, their own USA Proxy Servers). This is obviously a perfect fit, because if you're living, or working, or just traveling in a country other than the United States but still need to access United States websites (ie, unblock or bypass foreign government censorship/restrictions) then you will very definitely need to make sure that the proxy you're using is undetectable (ie, elite proxy, a.k.a, high anonymous proxy connection). Our elite proxy setup makes it very cheap & easy to accomplish this (ie, very cheap & easy to get undetectable usa proxy server ip's). As an example, one of my recent clients and his wife are teachers from Washington State USA, but their work requires them to travel abroad for several months per year teaching in other countries, but due to the internet cencorship & restrictions of many countries, they were unable to access many of the websites and online accounts they needed. This was an extremely cheap & easy solution for them, because they only needed one usa proxy server (ie, they only needed one usa ip address in order to access any websites they needed to use while outside the United States). Another recent client wanted to sell her cork flooring on craigslist from British Columbia Canada. We set her up with multiple ip's on a USA proxy server and now she's able to use craigslist from Canada.

Some Elite Proxy Server FAQ

What is an Anonymous Proxy Server?

An anonymous proxy server is a server script designed to hide your ip address and geo-location by allowing you to connect through it with your web browser, prior to connecting to the rest of the internet. It acts as a retrieval system, meaning that it goes to all the websites for you to get the pages you want, so that you never have to actually connect to the sites directly, thus, the only ip address and geo-location the web server sees is the anonymous proxy server's (and thus, NOT your ip address and geo-location).

What is an HTTP Proxy Server?

An http proxy server is just the original (technical) name for the base setup of an anonymous proxy server, ie, "anonymous" proxy is basically just slang for one configuration of an "http" proxy. Http proxies have all sorts of different variables that can be configured to your exact specifications, so an anonymous proxy is just one (very popular) configuration option. Other configurations might be a high anonymous (elite) proxy, a simple caching proxy, or even a blocking/cencoring proxy.

What is an HTTPS Proxy Server?

An https proxy server is exactly the same configuration as a regular http proxy but allows you to connect to encrypted versions of websites (ie, that use ssl (secure socket layer)). You don't need to change the actual configuration file (squid.conf) because https/ssl is already enabled by default in squid's base setup. In Firefox's proxy connection settings you can just check the box "use this proxy server for all protocols", but in other browsers you may have to actually check the boxes (and paste in your new ip address) for both http proxy and https proxy individually, and/or possibly ssl proxy (depending on exactly what it is you're trying to do). To test it to see if it's actually working, just navigate to the https version of any website that has it (https://encrypted.google.com/ for example), and if you can see the page (ie, if the page actually allows you to access it ... ie, if the page actually loads/opens) then it's obviously working.

What is the Difference between an Anonymous Proxy Server vs. an Elite Proxy Server?

There is only one difference. An elite proxy server IS an anonymous proxy server, but with one big advancement to the script. It goes one step further and also hides the fact that it's a proxy server at all. An elite proxy server is an anonymous proxy server that cannot be detected by anyone anywhere any how. It accomplishes this by using the http identification headers of a residencial personal computer (instead of those of a server) which is a simple matter of changing the contents of a single header packet.

What is a remote VPS (virtual private server)?

A VPS is the result of partitioning a dedicated server. It has the same exact capabilities and dedicated privacy of the original dedicated server that it was partitioned from (if you've ever partitioned the hard drive on your own pc, you will understand better, it's essentially the same thing). Any machine (computer, server, etc) that is connected to the internet needs to have an ip address in order for other machines (like web servers/websites) to let it connect to them. The ip address is used to identify the connected machine (ie, to differentiate it from all the other machines) and thus, all vps's come with their own dedicated ip address already assigned to it by default from the vps hosting company (instead of from an ISP like your home computer is). The purpose of a vps partition is to create smaller (and thus much cheaper) dedicated server solutions. Typically vps's are used for small private websites, but since they're so cheap to rent, they've become the server of choice for setting up private dedicated proxies on. The only difference being that you put a proxy server script on the vps, instead of a web server script.

What is a remote VPS account?

A remote vps account is just an order you place with a vps hosting company to rent one of their vps partitions (typically on a month-to-month basis) for a much much cheaper price than a full dedicated server would be; usually around $10 per month (a little more if you want multiple ip's addresses). It's much like placing an order for website hosting, but even easier because you don't have to mess around with domain names or dns. The vps account will have it's own private web address that only you have access to, with a "control panel" (icons).

What is a Private Proxy Server?

A private proxy server is a proxy server that you set up (or have set up for you) for your own exclusive personal use, on a remote vps server. Unlike public proxies, open proxies, and web proxies; you are the only person with access to it. As a result; you don't share bandwidth with anyone else, so it's dramatically faster than public proxies. It's also dramatically more reliable than public proxies because no one else is using and abusing the private ip address on your private proxy server. Another advantage is that it's dramatically safer and you avoid the "evil-middle-man" situation, because it's your proxy; no one else has access to the private server, and thus, no one else but you can acess the proxy (ie, a sketchy proxy owner cannot track & record your online activities, nor alter or steal your personal data, because there is no sketchy proxy owner...unless you're going to do those things to yourself that is).

How do You Set Up a Private Proxy Server?

You get yourself a private remote vps server account & install an elite proxy script on it using a simple SSH/Telnet shell (putty, or jellyfissh for mac ) ie, an extremely tiny (and free) little program used to connect to a remote server. Part of the process of setting up the proxy server includes assigning a username and password for the proxy, or multiple usernames and passwords (if you set up multiple ip's addresses on the same private proxy) so unless you give out the username and password, you are the only person that can use that private ip address, or that knows your private proxy even exists.

How do You Use a Private Proxy Server?

You take the private ip address of the vps server, and use that ip address in your web browser instead of the one your ISP gave you. All modern browsers have a setting where you can change your ip address in your browser, to the ip address of a private proxy server (for example, on Firefox Click: Tools >> Options >> Advanced >> Network >> Settings >> Configure Proxy Settings) — Screen Shot

Will I Absolutely Love My Private Proxy Server?

I never use the internet without mine. And in all the years I've been setting these up for people and businesses, I've never had a single complaint or refund request. I know that sounds outrageous, but it's completely accurate. And that would be impressive enough even if I was just talking about the tutorial, but I'm talking about the tutorial and the set up service (and those people are paying considerably more to have me set it up for them). The closest thing to a complaint is from craiglist posters that want to set up private proxies in multiple very specific cities (because not every specific city has vps server hosting). Note: This is NOT an issue for average proxy users, because the average proxy user wants the server to be in a completely different city from their own real city/state. This is only a concern for craigslist posters that post in categories that use geo-targeting, because the proxy has to be in the very specific city that they want to post in. So to be accurate, this isn't a complaint about the proxy itself or my service, it's actually exactly the opposite...they're unhappy because they can't have MORE of these proxies.

Elite Proxy Server Articles (Q&A Style)

I'll warn you right from the start; These "articles" were written mostly for searches, so they're incredibly repetitive. And all of them were inspired by actual search queries, and thus, you'll have to excuse the strange wording that sometimes occurs. For example, if the search query typed in was "how to use proxy server" instead of "how to use a proxy server", I use the original wording. It's not always pretty, but it's much more effective when trying to be found. So each query is treated as an actual guestion even though it may not have been structured as such, and thus, the resulting "article" is my answer to the assumed question.

Elite Proxy Set Up An elite proxy set up is just a dedicated server partition (configured with an elite proxy script) that allows the user to connect through it before actually connecting to the rest of the internet. This is one of my favorite analogies; An elite proxy server is like wearing a pair of gloves to avoid leaving finger prints. Picture yourself reaching out to "grab" a copy of a webpage, but hovering between you and the webpage is a pair of gloves with fake finger prints attached to the tips of them, that slip onto your hands just before you actually grab the page. Now you still get the exact same copy of the webpage you ...

Hassle Free Elite Proxy — Set Up Your Own Elite Proxy If you need a hassle free elite proxy, there is no better way than to set up your own elite proxy server.

Squid has a great little high anonymous elite proxy setup, so we use that on an unmanaged linux vps, running ...

How to Get Proxy Connection for New Proxies if You Have No Proxy URL or Web Proxy Services The best way to get a proxy connection (ie, the best way to get new proxies) is to set up your own private proxy connection.

Remote Proxy Server: Configure Your Own Remote Proxy Server on a Cheap VPS My proxy server tutorial (above) shows you how to configure your own remote proxy server on a cheap virtual private server (vps). VPS's are really cheap these days, and the ones needed for a remote proxy server are the cheapest of all. A proxy script takes up basically no space on the server, so we only need a remote server with very minimal resources. A vps is a dedicated server partition (with it's own built-in ip address). It gives you all the freedom and privacy of a full dedicated server, but at a fraction of the price (literally). If ...

Use of Proxy Server is to Hide Your IP Address & Location Basically, You use a Proxy Server to Surf the Internet on Your Behalf, so that you never actually make direct contact with any websites. You connect to this proxy server, and then "it" brings the pages back to your web browser for you. Don't worry, you won't notice any difference from the way you surf the web normally, because all of this stuff happens automatically in the background of your browser. You see, the proxy server has it's own IP Address, so the only thing any websites, search engines, etc., see, is the server's ip and where the server ...

Use a Proxy Server to Hide My IP Address If you need to hide your ip address, and also hide the fact that you're hiding it, then you need to use a proxy server (an elite proxy server). With a proxy server you use the ip of the proxy, instead of your own ip address. Instead of connecting to websites on the internet directly, you connect to your proxy server first, and then your proxy connects to the website for you. The website only sees the ip and geographic location of the proxy, and never sees your ip or where you live. If it's an "elite" proxy, then it also hides the fact that you're using a proxy, because ...

Use Proxy Server to Hide Your IP Address & Where You Live I'll have to assume that the question being asked here is, "How to Use Proxy Server?" Using a personal proxy server is as easy as changing one setting in your web browser. For example, on the Firefox browser (on the top menu) click: Tools >> Options >> Advanced (tab) >> Network (sub-tab) >> Settings (button), and then check the "Manual Proxy Configuration" option. In the "HTTP Proxy" text box, paste in the IP address of your personal proxy server, and it's Port number. Click "OK" twice and you're done. Now just refresh or restart your browser and ...

All that's required to actually use it, is to change one setting in your web browser. For example, you can quickly see exactly how easy it is to use right now.

Learn How to Build Your Own Personal Proxy Server in About 15 - 20 Minutes The vps will come pre-configured with it's own personal ip address already assigned to it by default, and you'll get a llink to access the control panel for the vps (it has it's own url just like websites do, so you just open it up in your normal web browser, ie, no new interface to learn). The process of converting the vps into an elite proxy server, basically consists of changing three files. One of the files is already on the vps, so all you have to do is open it up, delete what's already in there, and then paste in our new script...

Learn How to Build Your Own Private Proxy Server Step by Step The first step in setting up a private proxy server is to get yourself a cheap remote server. Don't let that scare you away (it'll only cost about $6 or $10 bucks, and it's a very simple process). In fact it's even easier than getting a web server for a website. These remote servers are called VPS's, short for Virtual Private Server. The vps comes with it's own private personal IP address already pre-installed by default, so all we have to do is add a bit of proxy scripting to allow our web browser to connect to the vps prior to ...

Build Your Own Proxy Server on a VPS The First Time You Build Your Own Proxy Server Might Be a Bit Intimidating because you'll probably be nervous about doing something wrong or "breaking" something. Let me ease your mind once and for all. When a vps hosting company rents you one of these servers to build a proxy server on, they literally won't "let you" "break" anything. They'll rent one of these things to anyone willing to pay, and because of that they have very good protections already "built in" to prevent you, or anyone else, from screwing up their servers. Furthermore, since the monthly rental fee is only going ...

My IP Address Articles

My IP Address: How to Find, Hide, Change My IP Address Show my IP Address. An IP Address identifies your computer connection, and broadcasts Where You Live (your geo-location). Basically the only way to see or find an ip, is to go to a website that has a script running to show it to you (as I have here). This is the script I'm using right now: <$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];> Pretty much all websites, search engines, internet providers, etc, do have scripts running to find it, but not many of them actually show it to you. Generally they use it for their own purposes, like identifying you, tracking ...

LookUp My IP Address & Then Hide IT Can you show me how to lookup my ip address and then hide my ip address? Yes, I definitely can. Your IP Address is this string of digits right here: [ . . . ]. Pretty much every website, blog, search engine, etc, on the internet runs a special script that can read your ip directly from your web browser (your web browser carries it around to every website you visit and broadcasts it, and it also broadcasts where you live). To lookup the address, just go to a site that will show it to you (like you're doing right now here on my site). Every page on my site shows you your ip right up there in the ...

Get My IP Address & Hide My IP Address How do I Get a Fake IP Address? In order to get yourself a fake ip, you just need to connect to another computer (that has it's own ip) before you connect to the websites you want to visit.

Don't let that scare you off though, it's really easy, and your web browser will do all the connecting for you, so all you have to do is set it up once and then your browser will do it for you automatically after that. All modern web browsers have a setting that allows you to plug in a private ip address instead of the one your ISP gave ...

How to Change Your IP Address So you want to know How to Change Your IP Address? Well it's actually pretty easy, but in order to do it, you'll need to get yourself a new ip to replace your real one.

Your IP Address Is Shown Above & This is How You Hide it Your IP Address is how your computer is identified on the internet. It's how websites, search engines, governments, employers, internet providers (isp's), and anyone else, can block, track & record all of your online activity. They record it in databases, along with all activity associated with it. What's worse is that they will often share data with each other, and sometimes even sell it. For example, have you noticed that whenever you search in google, somehow they mysteriously know where you live. Like if you type in "dentist", the search suggestion drop- ...

How do You Find Your IP Address & Hide it? When your web browser connects to the internet, it carries your ip address around with it ... sort of like a license plate on a car. Because of that, any decent programmer or website developer can easily add a quick script to his or her website to extract it directly from your browser (and many, if not all of us, do). Not all of us show it to you though. Some people just use it to track you around their site, or just make a record of it to know if you've ever been to their site before. For example, this is the script I'm using to do it right now: <$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_AD ...

More Elite Proxy FAQ

Please Note: These are very old FAQ Articles and some of the information in them may be outdated. Specifically, the original version of my proxy tutorial has been updated a few different times from when I wrote these articles below, so some of these articles mention it taking 30 minutes for the setup, and talk of control panels (hypervm), clicking icons, and other hints at what you actually (used to) have to do. The new updated version of the proxy tutorial is no longer control panel dependent, and thus no longer needs the hypervm control panel. The whole proxy server set up is now done completely via SSH (ie, putty or jellyfissh for mac). As a result, the setup time has gone from about 20 or 30 minutes down to only 5 or 10 minutes. Basically I've embedded most of the work that you used to have to do inside the actual scripts, so now all you have to do is type 5 short command lines into the SSH shell, which will (in essence) activate my scripts; which will then set up the proxy server for you. So if you're actually going to waste your time reading these old faq, just ignore any reference to control panels, file managers, hypervm, clicking icons, editing files, creating directories, etc (all of that stuff is now done automatically). ...
