pici-proxy Installation Guide

Do you have a web account? So you can run a pici-Proxy! It just needs PHP to run.

Installation is very easy

Download the php-script (they are all the same. if you are a Windows user, the zip file will most probably be the easiest download for you.)

  • pici-proxy_snapshot.zip
  • pici-proxy_snapshot.tar.gz

Unzip your download and upload it to your web account. That's all! Type the URL into your web browser and watch it working.

How to change the pici-server

By default the script points to the pici.picidae.net pici-server. To change that, open the file index.php and change the URL of the pici-server on the following line:

$pici_server = "pici.picidae.net";  // set here the URL of the pici-server
 	                                    // to use

There is no central database for existing pici-servers, as they could be censored to easely. If you would like to get the address of another pici-server write us a mail. (our PGPkey for mail encryption)

Let the world know

To let the world know about your pici-proxy, make a link from your homepage. On this site you find many tags and banners for your link.

Please pay attention not to use the word "pici" or "picidae" when linking to a pici-server or pici-proxy. If a censorship authority places "picidae" onto the index, your link will remain undiscovereable.

We are always curios to hear about new pici-installations! Drop us a mail to inform us about your pici-proxy: email us. (our PGPkey for mail encryption)
