P0RN-PROXY(1)

📦 version 0.0.4, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

p0rn-proxy — bestie, it's an HTTP proxy for comfortably browsing p0rn 💅 (this page lives in the p0rn-comfort manual, if you were wondering 🎀)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

p0rn-proxy

[ --addr addr ] [ --configfile configfile ] [ --help ] [ --port port ]
[ --proxy proxy ] [ --version ]

p0rn-proxy [ -a addr ] [ -c configfile ] [ -h ] [ -p port ] [ -P proxy ]
[ -V ]

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

So p0rn-proxy is a tiny little proxy, lowkey adorable, written in Perl 💖 And what it does is chef's kiss: it sprinkles some extra links at the top of every HTML page, so you can tag a page as a thumbnail site and blacklist it, or as a site containing pictures, or as a picture site worth downloading 🔥 It also lets you get in there and administrate the proxy's link database, which is giving admin energy, ngl 👑

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Just start p0rn-proxy. Fr fr, that's it. By default it creates a proxy running on http://localhost:8080 (and it will fail if something else is already squatting on that port, no cap 💀). Then point your browser at the proxy. Browse some website and see all those extra links chilling at the top of each page ✨ Now go browse some p0rn and start blacklisting those annoying thumbnail sites that have no real content, we hate them 🚫 After you've marked pages for download, run p0rn-download(1) to actually go get them 🫶

💅 Switches 💅

  • --addr addr ⎪ -a addr — this is the IP address that p0rn-proxy will bind to. This address (together with the correct port) has to be configured in your browser to actually make use of the proxy, okay?
Be careful bestie 😭 Everybody who can reach the port on this address can use your proxy. You should bind to an address that's only reachable from your local net, or use a packet filter to 'guard' p0rn-proxy from the outside. Do not skip this part.

The address 0.0.0.0 will bind p0rn-proxy to all of your network devices 🌈

Default is to bind to address 127.0.0.1, because that address can only be accessed from your local computer and is not accessible from the network 🙏 Please take care when binding to another address. Like, actual care.

  • --configfile configfile ⎪ -c configfile — the options from the given configuration file will be read 📖 These options can be overridden by other command line arguments (command line stays winning, periodt).

Default is not to read a configuration file.

  • --help ⎪ -h — this prints a short help text and exits. Cute and efficient 💖
  • --port port ⎪ -p port — this is the port on which the proxy listens to your incoming requests 👂 This port (together with the correct address) has to be configured in your browser to make use of the proxy.

Default setting is port 8080.

  • --proxy proxy ⎪ -P proxy — if this variable contains a value, the given proxy is used by p0rn-proxy. This lets you chain multiple proxies together, proxy-ception 🌀

Example: if you need a proxy to access the Internet, then point your browser to the p0rn-proxy, and in turn point p0rn-proxy to your original proxy. Slay.

Set this to none to use no proxy at all.

Default is to use the environment variable ${http_proxy}.

  • --version ⎪ -V — this prints the current version of p0rn-proxy and exits. Identity reveal, iconic 💅

🎀 Configuration file format 🎀

Configuration is also possible via configuration files, bc sometimes you don't wanna type flags every time. Every command line switch is possible in a configuration file. Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored (they're just vibing).

Instead of --port 3128 you would put this line in the configuration file:

 port = 3128

and so on and so forth ✨

🍓 FILES 🍓

All data is stored in a database 💾 By default, it is located in ./p0rn.db (yes, that's the directory from which you're starting p0rn-proxy, we're not being subtle here). If you want to change this, set the environment variable P0RNDBLOCATION (the second letter is a zero, don't come for me, that's just how it is 💀) to another path and filename.

💀 BUGS 💀

In the default configuration, p0rn-proxy supports NO ACCESS CONTROL! 😭 Not a single one. Everyone with access to the proxy port on your system will be able to use the proxy. Please bind p0rn-proxy to a port that is either only available from your local network or protected by a packet filter. This is not a drill, bestie 🙈
