NAME
proxy - HTTP proxy gateway service

SYNOPSIS
proxy [-d][-a] [-l[[@]logfile]] [-pport] [-iinternal_ip] [-eexternal_ip]

DESCRIPTION
proxy is HTTP gateway service with HTTPS and FTP over HTTPS support.

OPTIONS

-I  Inetd mode. Standalone service only.

-d  Daemonize. Detach service from console and run in the background.

-t  Be silenT. Do not log start/stop/accept error records.

-u  Never ask for username authentication

-e  External address. IP address of the interface the proxy should initiate connections from. By default, the system will decide which address to use in accordance with the routing table.

-niPATH
    (Linux only) Switch to the network namespace identified by PATH before opening the listening socket. The current namespace is saved and restored immediately after binding, so outgoing connections run in the original namespace unless -ne is also given.

-nePATH
    (Linux only) Switch to the network namespace identified by PATH after the listening socket has been bound (and after restoring from -ni if applicable). Both options accept any namespace file path (e.g. /var/run/netns/myns or /proc/PID/ns/net) and require CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

-i  Internal address. IP address the proxy accepts connections to. By default, connections to any interface are accepted. It's usually unsafe. Unix domain sockets can be specified with -iunix:/path/to/socket syntax (e.g., -iunix:/var/run/proxy.sock). On Linux, abstract sockets use -iunix:@socketname syntax.

-a  Anonymous. Hide information about client.

-a1 Anonymous. Show fake information about client.

-p  Port. Port proxy listens for incoming connections. Default is 3128.

-l  Log. By default logging is to stdout. If logfile is specified logging is to file. Under Unix, if '@' preceeds logfile, syslog is used for logging.

-S  Increase or decrease stack size. You may want to try something like -S8192 if you experience 3proxy crashes.

CLIENTS
You should use a client with HTTP proxy support or configure a router to redirect HTTP traffic to the proxy (transparent proxy). Configure the client to connect to internal_ip and port. HTTPS support allows you to use almost any TCP-based protocol. If you need to limit clients, use 3proxy(8) instead.
