# High Anonymity Squid Proxy

This is a Dockerized Squid proxy server configured for high anonymity. It removes identifying headers and supports both HTTP and HTTPS connections through the CONNECT method.

## Features

- High anonymity mode (removes identifying headers)
- Support for HTTP and HTTPS websites
- Configurable port (default: 7860)
- Access logging
- Performance optimizations

## How It Works

This proxy works by:

1. Handling HTTP requests directly with header anonymization
2. Tunneling HTTPS requests through the CONNECT method (without decrypting them)

The proxy does not decrypt HTTPS traffic, which means:
- It works with all HTTPS websites
- It maintains user privacy (the proxy cannot see HTTPS content)
- Some advanced filtering features are not available for HTTPS traffic

## Configuration

The proxy is configured with the following settings:

- Port: 7860
- Anonymity: High (removes Via, Forwarded-For, and other identifying headers)
- Access Control: Open to all IPs (0.0.0.0/0)

## Deployment on Hugging Face Spaces

1. Create a new Space on Hugging Face
2. Select "Docker" as the SDK
3. Upload the Dockerfile and this README.md
4. The proxy will automatically start on port 7860

## Usage

After deployment, you can use the proxy by connecting to the Space URL on port 7860:

```
http://<your-space-name>.hf.space:7860
```

## Customization

To customize the configuration, you can modify the squid.conf generation section in the Dockerfile. Some common customizations:

- Change the port: Modify the `http_port` directive in the squid.conf
- Adjust anonymity settings: Edit the header removal sections
- Restrict access by IP: Modify the ACL settings

## Security Considerations

This proxy is configured for high anonymity but is open to all IP addresses by default. For production use, consider:

1. Restricting access by IP address
2. Adding authentication
3. Regularly updating the base Ubuntu image
