AIM:- TO Set Up Proxy Server
Steps:-
Step 1: Set Up Proxy Server
Install Proxy Software: Download and install a proxy server software
(like Squid for Linux or CCProxy for Windows).
Configure Proxy Settings: Open the proxy server application and set up
configurations:
Define IP address and port for the proxy server (e.g., 192.168.1.1:8080).
Set access rules to restrict or allow connections based on IP ranges, time,
or other conditions.
Step 2: Configure Network Clients to Use the Proxy
Open Network Settings on the client computer (Windows, Mac, or
Linux).
Navigate to Proxy Settings:
On Windows: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
On Mac: Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies.
Save the settings.
Step 3: Test the Proxy Connection
Open a Web Browser: Try to browse any website to check if the
connection goes through the proxy.
Verify in Proxy Logs (Optional): Check the proxy server logs to confirm
that requests from the client are being processed by the proxy.
Step 4: Additional Configurations (Optional)
Authentication: Some proxies allow username/password configurations
to control access.
Caching and Logging: Configure caching for faster access to frequently
visited sites and enable logging for monitoring purposes.
