The basics and functions of a....

[phpSensei]

I need to know what kind of functions are used in a Proxy site.

 

How do they Hide your ip address?

 

examples: http://ninjaproxy.com , http://hidemyass.com

 

 

 

[Ninjakreborn]

Chances are they grab your original ip (or not) then scramble the ip, or use a random set of numbers and then use url open (data harvesting)>  Or use file_get_contents or include on a page from the other server.

Perhaps there are some high level technologies at work in those, because php is limited to what it can do in that regard.

[phpSensei]

I am sure php isn't so limited and it has the right tools to create such an application. I just need a good idea of how they make these sites.

Shouldn't be too hard to find examples.

[MadTechie]

basically its a proxy server.. not a great idea.. as your hiding you ip from one site but handing all your transaction data to the proxy instead....

[phpSensei]

how do you hide the ip?

[Ninjakreborn]

... forget it.

As I mentioned, use google.  You had about 50 links there with examples.

[phpSensei]

Yes, I know when the file_get_contents outputs the website, the ip of the user isnt shown, but what is shown instead?

curl()... does that about answer your question?

try this nifty function I have in my functions list:

function getpage ($url)
{
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($curl);
// check for errors
if (curl_errno($curl))
{
trigger_error('CURL error: "' . curl_error($curl) . '"', E_USER_WARNING);
$output = false;
}
curl_close($curl);
return $output;
}

 

then just echo the output

[MadTechie]

to hide your IP, you use a proxy server..

what this does, is when you enter a URL the proxy opens it and send the data to you.. so the Host server (from the URL) see the proxy connecting.. thus gets the proxies IP not yours.. so if you use cURL on your web site to get data from another site that site see your server's IP not yours) so you could create a web proxy.. Now theirs loads out their but.. remember when your using a proxy your sending all your data to the proxy and the proxy is sending it on to the host server.. not great if you want to hide your personal details...

 

[phpSensei]

Oh I see now.

 

I finished creating it, and it works great.

 

I also added this text "Please remember we are not responsible for any damage you cause using this tool, we are simply giving out a security feature to protect yourself against dangerouse websites."

[Ninjakreborn]

A dangerous website isn't going to be "delayed" or "inhibited" by the use of hiding the ip.

[phpSensei]

if your going to spam a forum, use a proxy server tool from a site to prevent getting ip banned.

[Ninjakreborn]

Why would you spam a forum in the first place.

it's illegal, immoral, and stupid.

Use web dev/app dev for the right purposes not the wrong purposes, and you'll live a happier life.

The 3 things people love to do on the internet: Illegal stuff, Immoral stuff, and Being Stupid.

 

I am not going to spam other forums, its for protection.

[Ninjakreborn]

hahahahah.  Now that was a very good response. Quite funny.  I have nothing I can say against that.

[MadTechie]

so you have put a Proxy up so your servers IP gets banned instead.. haha nice idea. not

 

Its hardly protection.. i have created 7 system that don't replie on IP's, as proxies are freely available, and web proxies are easy trace backs..

[Ninjakreborn]

Yes, he is right.  Ip's are very unreliable for anything serious.

[phpSensei]

hahahahah.  Now that was a very good response. Quite funny.  I have nothing I can say against that.

 

 

Thanks for the help guys.

 

Furthur into the discussion, what is more reliable?

[MadTechie]

Than ?

for ?

need more info

[phpSensei]

It doesnt work

After you click a link on the site it leaves my site.

 

Also, the image links arent there.

 

<?php
$url = $_POST['name'];

$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($curl);
// check for errors
if (curl_errno($curl))
{
trigger_error('<span class="style5">Sorry, the url you entered was not valid.</span>');
}
curl_close($curl);

echo $output;

?>

 

Then i tried this one, thanks who ever gave it to me. It has the same problems as listed above...

No it will not leave your site, and your need to fix the image links because of this..

[phpSensei]

did you try it?

 

 

I clicked on TUTORIALS on another site and it left to another page.

[phpSensei]

it works now, but the images and links are still bad.
