  PHProxy -- HTTP Activity

Category: PROXY-ACCESS      

PHProxy acts as a protective screener between the user and the internet. The server downloads the page into its memory, and then displays it to the user. From the point-of-view (in the technical sense) of the host hosting the target site, only the server visited. This means only the server's IP will be logged, and not the user's. Blocking of sites by ISPs and firewalls will not work as well, as the user is basically accessing the proxy. However, the catch here is that the server must be able to access these resources.
