This repo is used to test TinyProxy both as a proxy and a reverse proxy.
Configuration files:
default-configuration.conf- default configuration generated by tinyproxyforwardproxy.conf- configuration file used at forward proxyreverseproxy.conf- configuration file used at reverse proxy
You may have to test this in root mode. My tests were made using virtual machines using Debian GNU/Linux 8.9 (jessie).
The test consists of 4 virtual machines within the same network.
| Client | Proxy | Reverse Proxy | Server |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0.2.33 | 10.0.2.35 | 10.0.2.36 | 10.0.2.34 |
- First make sure the the server is working and there is communication between the client and the server
curl http://10.0.2.34:80
- Run server Because in my example I run a simple apache server, I use the following command to start the web server:
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
- Load tinyproxy configuration files at proxy and reverse proxy
To load the configuration you just have to run tinyproxy -c <configuration-file>.
load-config.sh is a script to load the configuration file after stoping the proxy and before restarting the proxy.
2.1. Load Forward Proxy configuration
sh load-config.sh forwardproxy.conf
2.2. Load Reverse Proxy configuration
sh load-config.sh reverseproxy.conf
- Run client
- Test a http request
curl --proxy http://<proxy-ip>:<proxy-port> http://<reverse-proxy-ip>:<reverse-proxy-port>/path-to-server
curl -v --proxy http://10.0.2.35:8888 http://10.0.2.36:8888/test/
- Check logging file
cat /var/log/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.log
- When it works you may get an output similar to the following. Note that I'm using an Apache web server, which returns a simple HTML page ("It works!" HTML page).

- If you want to use Wireshark to test this, you should see something like this:
