The aim of this exercise is to create an IP:Port proxy emulator in Php that can be deployed to a web server such as Apache. Once deployed it will run almost exactly like an IP:Port proxy -also referred to as Elite or Open proxies- requring you to change your browser settings. Because it's written as a Php script, it will run inside apace. There is no database requirement.
As this is a fairly substantial project, it is hosted on google at Project Mugatiya. There is also more information at the the 'Project Mugatiya blog projectmugatiya.blogspot.com.

You should note that the proxy does rewrite HTTPS requests as plain HTTP requests and this sometimes doesn't work with complex sites. Please feel free to contribute to the project.
Also, remember that as this is an IP:Port proxy, if left unchecked could land you with exorbitant overages on bandwidth. This demolishes web proxies hands down.
