How to create your own proxy server
Today, we will discuss how to create your own proxy server. This is useful for affiliates
who require their own home proxy server, as well as for anyone who needs to bypass
account blocking and access necessary sites without any problems.
Advantages of having your own proxy server
A proxy server allows you to create your own mobile and server proxies, eliminating
the risk of relying on untrustworthy providers. This helps you avoid situations where
proxies stop working due to one IP address being issued to multiple users.
It is better to choose providers that offer only private, anonymous proxies with only
one IP per person, such as Proxytunnel.
How to create your own proxy server
You can create a proxy server by using a service that offers the binding of such a
server. For instance, Digital Ocean.
You also will need a proxy configuration service to create IPv4 port configurations.
For instance, you can use “zalupa-proxy” service and its analogs.
Here are the basic steps to create a proxy server using Digital Ocean:
1. To start, enter the platform and create a new project - click on “Create”, then
on “Droplets”.
2. Choose the right GEO.
3. Choose Data Center.
4. Select the operating system Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS) x 64.
5. Choose a plan.
6. Create a password for the server.
7. Click "Create" and wait for the server to install.
The following steps take place in the service to configure the proxy. Here is an
approximate algorithm:
1. Go to the proxy settings service.
2. Copy the IP address of the server created on Digital Ocean and paste it
into the corresponding field.
3. Choose the number of users.
4. Select the main IP address.
5. Click on "Generate" and the service will give you a ready-made Socks5
proxy with login and password.
6. Copy a special command from the service to configure the proxy.
7. Navigate to the “Server Console” in Digital Ocean.
8. To configure the proxy, open a terminal and paste the copied command
from the service. Then, press “Enter”.
9. Wait for the dedicated server to create a proxy.
Done! Now this proxy can be used for work .
Conclusion
A personal proxy server can be a useful tool for anonymous and uninterrupted
work on the Internet. However, there is a risk that a specific port may not have
been used before, as the number of IPs available to registrars is limited. Therefore,
we recommend using your server in conjunction with a proxy from a reliable
provider. For instance,
Proxytunnel offers over 1.5 million IPs in 100 GEOs, and
that's only private anonymous proxies.
