Turn my site into a proxy server

Hi guys,

I come with a question I've googled and googled and can't seem to get a clear answer for.

I have a domain with bluehost and want to know if it's possible to be able to turn it into a ip accessible proxy server.

I've read around there are scripts I put onto my site and that will do some things but what I really need socket 4 or 5
and a direct IP for access to use.


If what I type sounds noobish it's because I am very green when it comes to web development, networking and maintenance is my forte.

A domain is just a name. Do you actually have hosting anywhere?

I think you can.
Basicly you'd put an IP restriction to it, and use something like file_get_contents($url) in php to simulate proxy.

You would see the page, while the page would see the data from the server used as a proxy

I think you want to put up a proxy site like HideMyAss.
For this, you can use free PHP scripts like Glype http://www.glype.com/
There are other kinds of scripts too but this is simplest and still effective.
BTW, you need you webhost's consent first or you would end up having your hosting account banned/removed.
