# Docker Image of an Anonymous HTTP Proxy

[This](https://hub.docker.com/r/yegor256/squid-proxy)

[Docker](https://www.docker.com/)

image helps you start your own [Squid](http://www.squid-cache.org/)

proxy server, with [HTTP Basic authorization][basic].

You may need this if you want your crawling/scaping software

to look like constantly going to the Network from the same IP address. You

rent a VPS, start a Squid server there and configure your software to

go everywhere through an explicit HTTP(S) proxy.

When Docker is [installed](https://docs.docker.com/install/), run this:

```bash

$ docker run --name proxy --detach --restart=always --publish 8081:3128 \

  --env USERNAME=jeffrey --env PASSWORD=swordfish \

  yegor256/squid-proxy

```

Or, you can use docker compose:

```yaml

version: '3'

services:

  proxy:

    image: yegor256/squid-proxy

    restart: always

    ports:

      - "8081:3128"

    environment:

      - USERNAME=jeffrey

      - PASSWORD=swordfish

```

Now you can connect to `localhost:8081` with `jeffrey:swordfish`

credentials. For example:

```bash

curl -vvv --proxy http://jeffrey:[email protected]:8081 https://google.com/

```

Or, with httpie:

```shell

http --proxy=http:http://jeffrey:[email protected]:8081 https://google.com/

```

BTW, the proxy is [anonymous](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymizer).

Once it's up and running, you can check whether it's visible,

[here](http://amibehindaproxy.com/). It also doesn't store any logs and doesn't

cache any content.

## Developing

Build it locally:

```bash

docker build . -t squid-proxy:latest

```

Want to push to a local machine?

```bash

docker save squid-proxy | ssh -C your@machine docker load

```
