How to Install TinyProxy Tutorial + Xenforo Proxy Setup
0If you are trying to hide your origin IP address behind a CDN and protect yourself DDOS attacks you will need to use a separate proxy server for all outgoing requests. On Xenforo if you enable URL unfurling or link or image proxying this will send a request out to the target web server. An attacking can simply hot link and image or unfurl a URL that he controls and in his logs he will see your server IP. For this reason you must use a forward proxy such as tinyproxy.
We needed to do this to proxy outgoing webserver connections, TinyProxy was really easy to setup and works great. I set it up on a 5$ Digital Ocean droplet using CentOS. You can also combine it with your email server if you followed our previous mailcow tutorial

Tinyproxy is an easy to use yet small HTTP/HTTPS proxy for POSIX operating systems. It can be used for deployments where a full HTTP proxy is needed, however system resources are unavailable for such a large daemon. Tinyproxy is distributed using the GNU GPL license (version 2 or above).
XenForo is an internet forum written in the PHP scripting language. XenForo was developed by former vBulletin lead developer Kier Darby and first released in its beta version October 2010.
Tinyproxy allows forwarding of HTTPS connections, supports being configured as a transparent proxy, and can also be used as a reverse proxy.
Configuring which HTTP headers should be allowed and blocked is a main feature of TinyProxy’s privacy settings. This allows restriction of data that comes from server to web browser (cookies etc..) and restrictions from your web browser to server(e.g version information).
You can configure TinyProxy to allow requests from a required subnet, or interface. This will keep unwanted individuals with bad intentions form using your proxy.
By hot linking a URL or image on your website a hacker can pull GET requests from your server uncovering your IP. This is where TinyProxy can help keep you safe and secure.
In this tinyproxy tutorial you will learn how to set up TinyProxy with your XenForo server. If you’re trying to keep a optimal level of anonymity and protect your servers from DDOS attacks than setting up a proxy server is a step in the right direction. Hackers are constantly trying to breach your data and a proxy is one level of security that can keep you and your information/servers safe.
Using CentOS this tutorial will show you how TinyProxy’s small memory footprint of around 2MB is quick and easy to setup and edit server IPs, and anonymous proxy settings using the tinyproxy.conf file. And also show you how to setup XenForos configuration file with your TinyProxy service.
