PHP Transparent Reverse Proxy

A lightweight, single-file PHP script to seamlessly route traffic between your browser and backend servers: ideal for remote development environments, flexible routing, and more.

How to use

1. Configure your web server
   If necessary, adjust your web server configuration (e.g., .htaccess) to forward all incoming requests to proxy.php.
   Here's an example Apache configuration:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule ^ - [L]
   RewriteRule . proxy.php [L]
   

2. Place the proxy.php file
   Copy the proxy.php file to your web server's document root directory.

3. Customize the $target array
   Edit the $target array in proxy.php to specify the target server's address and port:

   $target = [
       'scheme' => 'http', // Protocol (http or https)
       'host' => 'your_backend_host', // Hostname or IP address
       'port' => 8000, // Port number
   ];
