Overview
This product has charges associated with it for seller support. This is open source software, which is repackaged by ThinkCloud. The additional cost is applicable to the extended support of 24-hour response time. This AMI contains Tinyproxy 1.11.2 on CentOS Stream 9 and includes support. It offers a pre-configured, security-hardened environment designed for immediate deployment.
CentOS Stream 9 is a Linux enterprise-class operating system that is functionally compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It provides a stable and secure foundation for running network proxy services.
Tinyproxy is a lightweight, fast, and open-source HTTP/HTTPS proxy daemon. Designed from the ground up to be fast and small, it is an ideal solution for use cases such as embedded deployments, small networks, or situations where a full-featured proxy like Squid is too resource-intensive. Tinyproxy supports transparent proxying and strictly adheres to RFC standards, ensuring compatibility with most web browsers and HTTP clients. It also features flexible access control lists (ACLs) to manage which users or IP addresses can access the proxy.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Extremely Lightweight: Minimal CPU and memory footprint, making it perfect for low-resource environments.
- Privacy & Anonymity: Configurable headers allow you to strip identifying information to improve user privacy.
- Access Control: Built-in ACLs allow you to strictly define which IP addresses or subnets are allowed to use the proxy service.
- Simple Configuration: Uses a straightforward text-based configuration file that is easy to understand and modify.
- High Compatibility: Fully compliant with HTTP/1.1 standards, ensuring seamless operation with modern web applications.
This AMI is ideal for Network Administrators and DevOps teams who need a simple, efficient, and reliable forward proxy server without the complexity of enterprise-grade solutions.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
-
Connection Method Connect via SSH as user 'ec2-user' to the running instance. Use sudo to run commands requiring root access, or switch to root using: sudo su - root
-
Application Details Check Version: /usr/bin/tinyproxy -v Installation Directory: /usr/bin/tinyproxy (Binary executable) Configuration Directory: /etc/tinyproxy/ Configuration File: /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf
-
Service Management To manage the Tinyproxy service, use the following systemd commands: Start: sudo systemctl start tinyproxy Stop: sudo systemctl stop tinyproxy Status: sudo systemctl status tinyproxy
-
Network Configuration Default Behavior: The service listens on 0.0.0.0 (All interfaces), but the internal Access Control List (ACL) blocks non-local traffic by default. External requests will receive a "403 Access Denied" error. How to Allow External Access:
-
Edit the config file: /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf
-
Find the Access Control section (search for "Allow 127.0.0.1").
-
Option A (Allow Specific IP): Add a new line 'Allow <YOUR_CLIENT_IP>' (Recommended for security).
-
Option B (Allow All): Comment out the 'Allow 127.0.0.1' line by adding a '#' at the start. (Note: This allows anyone to use your proxy, which is risky).
-
Restart the service: sudo systemctl restart tinyproxy Port Configuration: 8888 (Default HTTP Proxy Port). AWS Security Groups: Please ensure you allow traffic on TCP port 8888 in your AWS Security Groups. Please allow SSH port 22 limited IPs for access.
