What would you still like to know about proxies?

Glype is lightest in both way, cpu usage and bw usage

I'm curious about making a proxy with the most compatibility ever. CGI proxy has 100% javascript support I hear, but it's resource intensive? I know facebook just broke for me on glype for some reason, and it's a battle to keep it working. I'd like to know how to get cgi proxy setup properly to support facebook 100%.

I got it installed but it just doesn't seem to process it...there's probably a solid cgi config out there that I just haven't seen. I'm rather new to cgiproxy...

CGI won't work in shared hosting, you prolly gonna need dedicated or vps server for it

For cgi proxies you also can use mod_perl with the combination PERL Module (PHP-CGIb 2). Trust me, it really gives good result.

The CPU usage for CGIProxy with mod_perl is actually fairly low (that is the point of mod_perl) however this comes at cost of ram usage. Also, a problem with using CGI+mod_perl is that the more domains you have on a server using CGI, the more ram each client will use. So basically if you want to run CGIproxy, ram is the bottleneck on most systems of balanced specs. Might also want to note that CGIproxy with mod_perl executes A LOT faster then phproxy so sites load quicker (assuming the server isn't overloaded). Without mod_perl CGIproxy is slow and a CPU hog.

If I ever do decide to build a massive proxy empire, I will probably start with CGIProxy as a codebase.

From my experience this is true, though I never really tested it. Might do it though.

I never used CGI-Proxy so I can't help you sry.

I've always heard cgi-proxy is 100% compatible with javascript. but if you try to login to facebook it's somewhat owrks, but is mostly a mess

i got an instance of it running at https://kroxy.org/private/nph-private.cgi
user: kroxy pass: proxy

Anyone have a successful running cgiproxy instance they'd be willing to share the config for?
