Overview
TinyProxy Server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS would be useful in a case when one needs the functionality of a full-scale proxy server, but either can't afford enough resources to maintain, or risk network security by having one.
One of the main features of TinyProxy Server on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is the concept of buffering connection. It puts the server's high speed response in a buffer, speeds it up and sends it back to the client. This feature improves connection speed in a users network a lot.
If you want to allow only HTTP requests in a small network you administer an Internet connection of, then Tinyproxy is a perfect choice for you.
Tinyproxy requires an incredibly small amount of special privileges to run, so the chance of compromising the system could be made minimal on demand.
Highlights
- If building a custom web proxy is what you're looking for, Tinyproxy is easily modifiable to your custom needs. The source is straightforward, abiding the KISS principle. As such, it can be used as a foundation for anything requiring web-proxy.
- Using the remote monitoring facility, you can access proxy statistics from afar, letting you know exactly how busy the proxy is.
- Tinyproxy could be configured to control access by only allowing requests from a certain subnet, or from a certain interface, thus ensuring that random, unauthorized people will not be using your proxy.
