Konaha Proxy

Incoming and outgoing Internet speeds are important indicators of proxy performance because they directly influence the speed of downloading the required information. The value of the ping is important for estimating the speed - the lower the value, the better. You can find out the real speed of your proxy server with the help of proxy checker.

To create your own proxy server, you can use open-source software such as Privoxy or Squid. Here's a step-by-step guide using Privoxy:

Install Privoxy: Download the latest version of Privoxy from the official website (https://www.privoxy.org/download/) and install it on your computer. The installation process varies depending on your operating system.

Configure Privoxy: After installing Privoxy, open the configuration file, usually located at /etc/privoxy/config.txt on Linux or C:\Program Files\Privoxy\config\config.txt on Windows. You can also find the configuration file in the installation directory.

Edit the configuration file: Open the configuration file in a text editor and make the following changes:

Uncomment the following line by removing the # symbol at the beginning:

listen-address 0.0.0.0

Uncomment the following line and change the port number if desired (e.g., 8118):

listen-port 8118

forward-suffix .privoxy

Add the following line to forward requests to a specific destination server (replace with the desired server's address):

forward-suffix 

Save the configuration file and restart Privoxy: Close the text editor and restart Privoxy to apply the changes. On Linux, you can use the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart

On Windows, locate the Privoxy service in the Windows Services list and restart it.

Test your proxy server: Open a web browser and configure it to use your new proxy server (e.g., http://localhost:8118). Test by accessing a website to ensure that the proxy server is working correctly.

Create the first profile by specifying its name and selecting the desired configuration. The configuration is a non-repeating combination of different versions of the operating system and browser. After setting the language, open the "Network" tab and select the type of proxy (socks5 or https). Now it remains only to fill in the data in the highlighted fields to complete the installation of the proxy.

The easiest way to set up a home proxy server is to install a router that supports this function. Then get the proxy data (provided by the service in which it is "rented") and enter it in the router settings. If there is no need for a common proxy (for all devices at once), then it should be configured separately for each device with the help of the utilities integrated in the OS for changing the connection properties.

In Windows, proxy settings for local connections are made through the "Network and Sharing Center" (from the "Control Panel"). You need to select "Browser Properties", then go to "Connections" and click on "Network Setting". And there you can set either the script or the parameters for the proxy.
