VPS for Proxy Server: Offshore SOCKS5 & HTTP Proxy Hosting
Public proxies are slow, unreliable, and likely logging everything you do. Running your own proxy server on an AnubizHost offshore VPS gives you dedicated bandwidth, clean IP addresses, and complete control over logging and access. Deploy Squid, 3proxy, Dante, or a custom solution — your proxy, your rules.

Why Self-Host a Proxy Server
Commercial proxy providers sell shared IPs that are already flagged by every major website. You pay per GB or per request, and the proxy's reputation is contaminated by thousands of other users. A self-hosted proxy on a VPS gives you virgin IPs, unlimited bandwidth, and zero per-request costs.
With your own proxy, you decide what gets logged. Disable access logs entirely for maximum privacy, or enable detailed logging for debugging and analytics. Commercial proxies make this decision for you — and rarely in your favor.
AnubizHost offshore VPS adds jurisdictional protection to your proxy setup. Your proxy's exit IP resolves to a privacy-friendly location, and we do not cooperate with foreign data harvesting requests. Combine this with SOCKS5 or HTTPS proxying and your traffic is genuinely private.
Proxy Software Options
Squid is the gold standard for HTTP/HTTPS forward proxying. It supports caching (reducing bandwidth for repeated requests), ACLs (restricting access by IP, domain, or time), and SSL bumping for HTTPS inspection. Install it on Ubuntu with a single apt command.
3proxy is a lightweight alternative that supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 in a single binary under 1 MB. It is ideal for VPS with limited resources and supports proxy chaining, bandwidth limiting, and user authentication.
Dante is the go-to for SOCKS5 proxying. It handles SOCKS4, SOCKS5, and HTTP CONNECT methods, supports username/password and GSSAPI authentication, and includes bandwidth throttling. For applications that speak SOCKS natively (like Telegram, torrent clients, and SSH), Dante provides the most seamless experience.
Multi-IP Proxy Rotation
A single-IP proxy gets rate-limited and blocked by websites quickly. AnubizHost offers additional IPv4 addresses and /64 IPv6 blocks that you can bind to your proxy server for rotation. Configure Squid or 3proxy to cycle through your IP pool with round-robin or random selection.
For advanced rotation, set up HAProxy in front of multiple proxy instances, each bound to a different IP. Requests are distributed across IPs automatically, mimicking organic traffic patterns that are harder for target sites to fingerprint and block.
IPv6 rotation is particularly powerful. With a /64 block containing 18 quintillion addresses, you can assign a unique source IP to every single request — making IP-based blocking virtually impossible for targets that support IPv6.
Set Up Your Proxy VPS
A basic proxy server is lightweight: 1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM handles hundreds of concurrent connections through Squid or 3proxy. For heavy scraping or multi-user proxy pools, scale to 2-4 vCPU with additional IPs.
Installation is fast. Deploy a Debian or Ubuntu VPS, install your proxy software, configure authentication (username/password or IP whitelist), and open the necessary ports. The entire setup takes 10-15 minutes with our knowledge base guides.
AnubizHost proxy VPS plans include unmetered bandwidth on qualifying tiers, so you never worry about transfer limits regardless of usage volume. Whether you route 100 GB or 10 TB through your proxy monthly, the price stays the same. Deploy your private proxy infrastructure today.
