Proximodo Open-Source Customizable Web Filtering Proxy Server

Proximodo acts as a mediator between the browser and the website. It “sees” everything that is going on and, according to your choices, modifies headers and html page content on-the-fly to make things right. You don’t want pop-ups and banners? Just activate the corresponding filters and they will disappear. You want cookies to be deleted when you close your browser? Proximodo will do it for you. You want a fast navigation in the pages you already visited? Page caching will be forced.

Basically, Proximodo is a clone of a great piece of software called The Proxomitron, developed by Scott R. Lemmon. Now that for sad reasons Proxomitron is unmaintained, I started this project to carry on the idea. Though a few Proxomitron features are still missing in Proximodo (mainly SSL support) the essential is already there: 100% of Proxomitron filters will run under Proximodo (plus there is a menu to import your custom Proxomitron filters).

This Week

I apologize for the horrible lack of updates this last week. I’m getting back into the swing the the school semester, so I’ve had quite a few things going on. Also, I’ve been tweaking Simply-Basic’s theme a little bit more. Nothing major, but I’ve re-done the header and the sidebar. I’ve lightened the colors a fair bit, and the sidebar will be much more functional, including a tabbed interface, and will allow the content area to be enlarged a small amount. The format of the content area and the footer will remain largely untouched, though I may tweak the colors at some point in the future.

Also, I’ve enjoyed the Twitter feed in the sidebar so much that I’m getting rid of it. I’m going to replace it with a sideblog plugin of some sort that will give me better control over the appearance and content of the mini articles. It also allows me to include the sideblog in the RSS feed. So keep on the lookout for the upgraded theme in the next few days. I’m also working on a few other articles for the blog, so keep an eye open for those as well.
