Tinyproxy

Tinyproxy is a small, efficient HTTP/SSL proxy daemon released under the GNU General Public License. Tinyproxy is very useful in a small network setting, where a larger proxy would either be too resource intensive, or a security risk. One of the key features of Tinyproxy is the buffering connection concept. In effect, Tinyproxy will buffer a high speed response from a server, and then relay it to a client at the highest speed the client will accept. This feature greatly reduces the problems with sluggishness on the Internet. If you are sharing an Internet connection with a small network, and you only want to allow HTTP requests to be allowed, then Tinyproxy is a great tool for the network administrator.

For more info, please visit the Tinyproxy web site.

Installation

To install this package under a UNIX derivative, read the INSTALL file. Tinyproxy uses a standard GNU configure script. Basically you should be able to do:

./configure
make
make install

in the top level directory to compile and install Tinyproxy. There are additional command line arguments you can supply to configure. They include:

  • --enable-debug: If you would like to turn on full debugging support.

  • --enable-xtinyproxy: Compile in support for the XTinyproxy header, which is sent to any web server in your domain.

  • --enable-filter: Allows Tinyproxy to filter out certain domains and URLs.

  • --enable-upstream: Enable support for proxying connections through another proxy server.

  • --enable-transparent: Allow Tinyproxy to be used as a transparent proxy daemon.

  • --enable-static: Compile a static version of Tinyproxy.

  • --with-stathost=HOST: Set the default name of the stats host.
