I am trying to make a proxy server for my house to connect to the internet through. I am trying to use phpproxy, but I have no background in php or anything like this other than a little html. Can anyone show me how to do this please?

By the way here is the code included in PHPProxy
<?php
# edit this
# set this to your client machine or proxy,
# comment it out if you don't want protection
$allow_ip = '1.2.3.4';
# define this if you want PHPProxy not to connect
# directly, but use parent proxy instead
# $proxy_host = 'proxy.ml.lv';
# $proxy_port = 8080;
$proxy_host = '';
$proxy_port = 0;
# write debug info into server error_log
# $debug = 1;
$debug = 0;
# end of config
if (!empty($allow_ip) && $REMOTE_ADDR != $allow_ip)
exit;
function debug ($msg) {
global $debug;
if ($debug) error_log('phpproxy: '. $msg, 0);
}
unset($url);
$strip_header = 0;
$set_content_type = 0;
if ($REQUEST_METHOD == 'GET') {
debug("GET request");
# just page with inputs
if (!isset($_GET['url'])) {
debug("show page");
?>
<html><body>
<form method="POST">
<input type="text" name="url" size="70">
<input type="submit" name="get" value="Download">

<?php
exit;
# url is hex encoded real url

PHProxy is a program for accessing blocked internet sites from other places, it is not technical a proxy its just called PHProxy I.E. a proxy caches pages to speed them up, it can also block sites you don't want people to visit.
Try out http://3proxy.ru/
I have never used it but it has great reviews and is avaliable for Linux/UNIX and Windows

True.
If you don't want the hassle of setting up a proxy, probably the simplest is to use Google Language Translation as a http proxy.
