A prototype of a web proxy implementing many features like:

• Caching (LRU/LFU)
• HTTP Compression (Gzip)
• Firewall (Blocked IP lists)
• Adblocking (Uses Easylist)
• Content filtering (Naive bayes classifier to filter adult content)
• Support for HTTP GET/POST and HTTPS via tunnelling
• Prioritization of requests (+ prevents DDoS attack)
• User Authentication (Using HTTP 407)
• Logging

1. Install apache2 web server, using sudo apt-get install apache2.
2. Install MySQL, sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql.
3. Run sudo mysql_install_db; sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation and set up root password.
4. Our system assumes a database named 'proxy', containing a table 'login', with varchar columns 'id' and 'password'.
5. Change the password in ProxyServer.java to the one set in step 3.
6. Move the www folder to /var/www.
7. Find your machine's ip, using ifconfig.
8. Install the adblockparser python module using sudo pip install adblockparser.
9. Navigate to CS-378-Networks-Project and run java -cp mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar:jsoup-1.8.1.jar:. proxy.ProxyServer.
10. On the client, configure the proxy to the ip found in step 7, and set the port to 12000.
11. You can configure the proxy by navigating to 127.0.1.1/configure.php on the proxy machine. Similarly, you can use 127.0.1.1/adduser.php and 127.0.1.1/blocklist.php and 127.0.1.1/priority.php. These pages can also be accessed from the client machine by changing 127.0.1.1 to the IP address of the proxy server.
12. The proxy is ready to use.
