How to Stop Hotlinking on Zelune Proxy Script
Here is a code to stop hotlinking on zelune proxy script.
This code will stop people directly linking to proxified pages. If they go to a direct proxified page it will take them back to your homepage or where ever you set it.
You have to put your domain name where it says and put this in the index.php file under <?php
// Change this to your domain (no ‘www.’)
$domain=”yourdomain.com”;
// If no request:
if($_GET[’__new_url’]!=”"){
// Get referer
$referer=$_SERVER[”HTTP_REFERER”];
// Check to see if referer is not the proxys domain
$count=substr_count($referer,$domain);
// If there is an outside referer:
if($count==0){
// If there is a request:
if($_GET[’__new_url’]!=”"){
// Redirect to homepage and finish script
header(”Location: http://www.” . $domain . “/”);
exit();
}
}
}
How Can I Know If My Ip Address Is Visible To Intruders
IP addresses are assigned to computers by your ISP for browsing the internet, or by administrators when configuring a LAN. This IP is unique to each computer.
When browsing web sites, your IP address, along with other personal information, is vulnerable to webmasters, hackers or any person with software capable of retrieving this information. In order to avoid compromising your personal information and making your computer vulnerable to outside attacks, you can use an anonymous proxy server, such as those listed at www.findproxy.org.
To verify if your IP address is visible, you can access this page normally, and then through an anonymous proxy server.
When accessed normally, you should see your IP address below.
Your IP address is:
After confirming your IP address, access this same page through an anonymous proxy server, in which case your IP address should not appear above.
This way, you will be able to verify if the server you have chosen really hides your IP address and if you are thus surfing the web anonymously, with no security risk to your PC and your personal information.
CGI and PHP Proxies
Normal HTTP Servers, that is, servers which are used for example for web browsing, can be used to run proxy scripts for different reasons, mainly security and privacy.
The most common scripts run on HTTP servers are CGI and PHP scripts.
CGI scripts retrieve information from the URL which we want to access, either HTTP or FTP, and update any resource or embedded URLs to point back to the server through the script. This way, our personal information is not sent to the server, providing additional security. These scripts allow extended filtering of ads and cookies and can even remove JavaScript and VBScript from the information retrieved, among other protective uses.
PHP scripts are very similar to CGI proxy scripts and can be run on HTTP proxies mainly to bypass proxy restrictions through a web interface. An additional use of PHP proxies, other than those of CGI proxies, is to bypass restricted access to URLs that may be blocked from the proxy itself.

How To Change User Agent in Mozilla Firefox
If you want to change Firefox’s User Agent there is a way to do it.
Type in your browser, in the address line, about:config and you will see a full list of the variables used. Now, type useragent in the filter line and search a string identified with general.useragent.override (to modify this line just double click the entry and make your changes).
User agent value can be specified in the defaults\pref\all.js file by adding the “general.useragent.override” property, as in this example:
pref( “general.useragent.override”, “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)” );
There is a more easily way to change User Agent. Get a User Agent Switcher and will run on any platform that these browsers support including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

What is an IP address and how can I hide it
Every computer that is connected to a network must have an IP address. This address uniquely identifies the computer over the network in order to transfer information to and from it accordingly. Both local and wide area networks have IP addresses assigned to each computer, or terminal, within the network.
IP addresses can be static or dynamic. Static IP addresses are assigned by the system administrator to each computer and dynamic IP addresses are assigned by another device connected to the network.
When the computer is connected to a local area network (LAN), for example at home or in a corporate network, the IP address is determined when configuring the network and is usually static. Such IP addresses can be, for example, 192.168.0.1, known as private IP addresses. However, when connecting to the internet, the ISP determines the IP address which will identify your PC when connected via modem to the net, known as a public IP address. IP addresses for connecting to the internet, considered a wide area network (WAN), can be static or dynamic, depending on the ISP.
Due to the fact that each computer has an IP address which identifies it, this information can be “seen” by other persons on the network with specialized software that detects IP addresses, or by persons hacking into the network. Even when browsing a website, your IP address can be identified by the site, apart from other information that is vulnerable when surfing the net. The most important data retrieved from internet users are usually IP addresses, surfing habits, and other, more personal information, when possible.
Website administrators and marketing companies can then use this information to target you for adware, junk mail, spam, and other marketing annoyances on the net. Other, more malicious intruders can even use this information to access your PC’s hard drive itself and recover any information on it.
Thus, these vulnerabilities are exploited by any person that has the ability to do so. That is why, when faced with privacy concerns, many internet surfers prefer to use proxy surfers that will hide their IP address. In this way, surfing the internet is anonymous and noticeably reduces security hazards.
How does a proxy server work when browsing the internet
When browsing the internet from a home PC, there are several elements that make the whole process possible.First of all, on one end, we have our home PC. This PC is connected via its modem to the ISP’s server, which in turn is interconnected to servers around the world that host the specific web sites that we are requesting.
From a web browser, we send a request to access a specific website by typing the site’s address, for example, www.findproxy.org.
When we hit “Enter”, this request is sent to our ISP’s server, which identifies the request. If the ISP has a proxy server with cached requests, when retrieving our request it will look up the information in its cache to determine if the proxy can comply or not. This means that the proxy server saves all requests made from users to its cache, so that the next time another user makes the same request, it does not have to retrieve that same information from the original server. The proxy server responds by sending the information to our PC from its cache.
On the other hand, if the proxy server cannot comply, it will send the request to the real server that hosts the specific website that we are requesting. The host server sends that information to the proxy server, which can then cache the response for future requests, and then sends the information to our PC. Sometimes, more than one proxy server can be involved, as some sites, like MSN, Yahoo, and AOL have several proxy servers that respond to requests from their cache, thus reducing the amount of petitions to the main server and reducing response times.
In a corporate network, even more elements form part of the process. Apart from the possibility of having its own proxy server to improve performance, the proxy can also act as a filter from the employees’ terminal, blocking attempts to access specific content from their web browsers. Additionally, companies have mail servers that store and distribute emails over its local network and WAN. All potential viruses are filtered at this stage before it can reach an employee’s PC. Servers also provide additional security through firewalls either from the proxy itself or from a firewall server dedicated to such purpose.
What is Proxy Server
What is Proxy Server?
A proxy server is a server that can be found between, for example, a client PC web browser and a real server. When the client application sends a request to the real server, the proxy server intercepts the request and tries to comply with it. If the proxy server cannot complete the request it is then forwarded to the real server.
As proxy servers fulfill requests, the results are stored in its cache, So, the next time a client sends the same requests, the result is taken from the proxy’s cache, dramatically reducing response time.
Proxy servers can thus be used for servers that, for example, have very high traffic to reduce response time to each request. The real server can then respond to all requests that the proxies cannot fulfill, improving performance drastically.
Another application for proxy servers is to filter requests. This way, companies can limit the sites that their employees can access online and the server can also provide additional security.
Lastly, online proxies are also used for anonymous surfing, hiding the user’s IP to prevent sites from retrieving personal information from web users.
Proxy servers are one of many types of servers, some of the most common types are:
Application servers
- Application servers are used as connections between database servers and clients.
FTP servers
- File Transfer Protocol servers are one of the most used servers on the internet for transferring files safely from one computer to another, providing security and control over the whole transfer process.
Mail servers
- Used by companies to transfer and store e-mails on their corporate networks, either LAN or WAN, and over the internet.
Web servers
- All static content is delivered over the internet via web servers. These servers retrieve information from disks and transfer it across the net to a user’s web browser through HTTP.
How to Drive Traffic to Your Proxy Site?
As you know Web traffic = Money. You need money to pay server’s cost to maintain your business on line or simply to buy a Ferrari. 
(Good idea.. what do you think about?).
Then, how can you drive traffic to your proxy site?
There are some methods to do it:
- By adding your proxy site at FindProxy.org
- Include your site in Proxies Toplist, there are few goods of them on line.
- By putting your site on Proxy Directories with a good description.
- Create a related group on Yahoo Groups.
- Build a newsletter.
- Be active in Proxy Forums and insert the link to the signature.
- Make a good video and share it at YouTube and MySpace.
- Use Social Websites.
- Build a blog
That all…. If you have another method, please share it.
How to Prevent Hotlinking in PHProxy
A Web proxy server with PHProxy is a risky business because this script not have any hotlinking prevention allowing other can just go to your proxied pages without going through your front page and download, link any picture, etc by using your bandwidth with the risk that your server going down.
How to prevent users from hotlinking through your PHPproxy script?
Open index.php file with notepad and put this code above.
Replace domain.com with your proxy domain name
<?
/*
Start MOD
*/
/*
PHProxy bandwidth MOD 1.1 by Rhett Canney (Billy Connite)
This MOD will stop any hotlinking via PHProxy, even if the
clients referer is not set!
*/
// allow hotlinking from these sites, seperate by comma (make sure you eneter your site’s domains)
$domains=”www.domain.com,domain.com”;
// convert domains into an array
$domains=explode(”,”,$domains);
// if there is a request:
if($_GET[’q']!=”")
{
// get referer
$referer=explode(”/”,($_SERVER[’HTTP_REFERER’]));
// if the referer is not allowed:
if(!in_array($referer[2],$domains))
{
// redirect to homepage and finish script
header(”Location: http://”.$domains[0].”/”);
exit();
}
}
