Hi,
First of all, thank you for developing this project. It is incredibly useful, especially for users who need a reliable way to bypass censorship.
I am writing to suggest a new implementation: A PHP-based backend for shared hosting (cPanel).
Currently, your project requires a VPS, which can be prohibitively expensive or difficult to maintain for many users, especially in regions with severe internet restrictions (Net-Melli). Shared hosting is significantly more affordable and accessible.
The Concept:
We can use a Google Script as the frontend (as it is currently) which masks the traffic as google.com to the ISP, and route the requests to a lightweight PHP script on a standard cPanel shared hosting. This allows the backend to reside on a server that supports basic PHP, providing a cost-effective solution for everyday users.
Proposed Flow:
Plaintext
you → browser → [Project Name] ──┐
│ ISP only sees: www.google.com
▼
Google's network
│
▼
your free Apps Script fetches the real site
│
▼
PHP Backend on cPanel (Proxy) → Target Site
Why this is valuable:
Cost-Efficiency: Shared hosting is much cheaper than a VPS.
Accessibility: It keeps the connection alive during internet blackouts by leveraging trusted domains (Google) and simple PHP hooks.
Wider Reach: It would allow non-technical users to host their own proxy easily without dealing with server configurations.
I believe this feature would make your project significantly more popular and useful for users under censorship. I would love to see this implemented or hear your thoughts on how we could structure this PHP backend.
Thank you for your time and your amazing work.
