ProxyCloud

• A simple locally hosted multiproxy caching server system created in python and it's vast set of modules for LANs.

• The webserver deployed is a simple BaseHttp Server written in python with caching abilities.

• The proxy servers ( right now only 2 , but can be exemplified with more) are chosen on [Round-Robin] Algorithmic order to implement load balancing to the webserver's request

Running the project

• Point your browsers proxy to the WebServers IP and port

• To run the webserver:

cd /path/to/your/directory
python threading_cache_proxy.py

• To run the two proxies built in:

cd /path/to/your/directory
python proxy_server<serverid>.py

• To run the proxy Web-App:

cd /path/to/your/directory
python3 app2.py

Development

• Build and Add more proxies for your server with a few lines of simple code
• Apply better caching techniques and load-balancing methods

Tech/Libraries/Modules used

• [Flask] - A micro web framework written in Python and based on the Werkzeug toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. (Web App)
• [Urllib2] - Urllib2 module defines functions and classes which help in opening URLs (mostly HTTP)
• [Hashlib] - A hashing library used to hash cached services of webpages that makes retrieving easier
• [Socket] - A socket programming module that allows creating sockets for servers for connections following TCP
• [Threading] - A module to run parallel executions speeding up the request process
