Glype
Glype proxy script is a web-based proxy application that is available for free and is designed to facilitate online anonymity and bypass internet restrictions. It is an open-source project, which means that users can view, modify, and distribute the code. Licensing However, it is important to note that while it is open-source, it is not distributed under the General Public License (GPL) or any similar licensing framework. Instead, users must adhere to specific licensing requirements. These requirements include either maintaining a backlink to the original source of the script on their website or purchasing a paid license for those who prefer to remove the backlink obligation. This licensing approach allows the developers to offer the script for free while also providing options for users who want to utilize the software without the requirement of attribution. History and current status On May 7, 2010, Baron Munchausen, the administrator of Proxy.org announced that he acquired Glype. (source: http://forums.glype.com/news-updates/1286-baron-acquires-glype.html and http://proxy.org/forum/1273292889.html). Both links are dead now. The script has not been updated since 1.4.15. You can still get the last version of Glype from GitHub (https://github.com/vincentclee/glype), which probably is not the official source. Advantages of Glype script The Glype script has gained significant…
Comparison of Web Proxy Scripts
For web proxy webmasters, the first thing is to choose a proper proxy script. In this articles, 5 of the most popular web proxy scripts are compared. This is your definite guide for you on choosing a web proxy script. I received some inquiries periodically on choosing a proxy script to start a web proxy site. So, I decided to post my opinions here. It is always a tough question, when “the best” is involved. However, for a web proxy site, the candidates are quite limited. For simplicity and legal reasons, I will limit my discussion on free scripts only. The possible options usually include: CGIProxy, Glype, PHProxy, Surrogafier and Zelune.

PHProxy
PHProxy, short for PHP Proxy, was a highly popular web proxy script that gained considerable traction in the early 2000s. History and current status of PHProxy Developed by Abdullah Arif, the script provided users with a simple way to browse the internet anonymously by acting as an intermediary between the user’s browser and the sites they wished to visit. However, on September 7, 2007, Arif announced the discontinuation of the project, thereby relinquishing all rights and responsibilities associated with it. The last release (version 0.5b2) of this script was on January 27, 2007 under GPL license. The script is available for download in sourceforge. A copy of the last version (0.52b2) can also be found on TheProxyGuide (click to download). A demo of the PHProxy script is available at phproxy.goyap.net (no longer working). Advantages of PHProxy The architecture of PHProxy shared several similarities with the well-known CGIProxy project, which served as its inspiration. While CGIProxy scripts were written in the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) language, PHProxy was developed in PHP. This key difference made PHProxy more accessible for many webmasters, especially those looking to set up a proxy server with minimal hassle. The ease of installation and configuration contributed significantly to…
Surrogafier
Surrogafier is another proxy script similar to PHProxy. The script only includes one php file. The script was not very popular among web proxy webmasters when the market was dominated by PHProxy, Glype, and CGIProxy. The initial release (0.7.4.1.b) date was January 9, 2006, and there has been no update since May 6, 2006 (Version 1.0-rc3), according to the project website. The latest release is Version 1.9.1b (around 2020), which is available in the author's GitLab repository (https://gitlab.com/BCable/surrogafier). In 2019, Surrogafier made a significant shift in its licensing approach by transitioning to a permissive MIT license. This change set it apart from other web proxy scripts available (see the comparison of web proxy scripts), allowing users greater freedom to utilize, modify, and distribute the software without many of the restrictions that typically accompany more restrictive licenses. The MIT license facilitates wider adoption and encourages collaborative development, enabling developers to integrate Surrogafier into their projects with ease.
