Setup a pirate bay proxy

Posted on by

This is a how-to on how to setup a pirate bay proxy on Ubuntu 12.04

Firstly, Install the dependencies

apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev openssl gcc make subversion

Next grab nginx

wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.4.2.tar.gz

Download the substitutions4nginx source using subversion.


svn checkout http://substitutions4nginx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ substitutions4nginx-read-only

Extract the source.

tar xzvf nginx-1.4.2.tar.gz

cd nginx-1.4.2.tar.gz

Get ready to compile by configuring. Change the path of the substitutions4nginx-read-only directory to where you’ve downloaded it to. If you haven’t changed the path and are logged in as root it’ll probably be /root/substitutions4nginx-read-only/

./configure -add-module=/path/to/substitutions4nginx-read-only

Compile it. It’ll be installed to /usr/local/nginx/ by default.

make

make install

Test nginx is working by starting it then typing in your server IP in your web browser. You should see the Welcome to nginx! message.

cd /usr/local/nginx/

./sbin/nginx

If its working, we’ll stop it so we can configure it.

./sbin/nginx -s stop

Rename the default config file so we’ve got a copy just in case something isn’t quite right.

cd conf

mv nginx.conf nginx.conf-backup

Download this config file:

wget http://proxybay.info/assets/proxy/nginx.conf

Test your config works by starting nginx.

./usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

Thats it. All working
