How would I setup a "minibrowser" through a proxy.. uhh just read my explanation

I'm trying to solve the issue of blocked internet at school for myself and peers. My idea is pretty simple, I wan't to setup a webserver which can be logged into where students can (in like a little box or someshit) browse the web. The thing is that I want to make sure that all requests that are being made for sites outside of the network will be tunnelled through a proxy on the network with a user&password.

Is this at all possible with PHP? (Do you have a better solution?)

Thanks guys,

Couldn't you just use a proxy browser? There are a lot of websites which allow you to surf the web with a proxy directly, it might be blocked on your school though.

I don't have a lot of PHP knowledge so I wouldn't be able to help you with that, but maybe a weird question but couldn't you just use a VPS?

I mean it all depends on how much you want it and how much you trust your fellow students, but if you have a VPS you could just make different users and install a browser on it. I highly doubt they blocked the connection to a VPS.

You could also try working with IFrames, but not all websites can be visited through iframes, so that could be a pain in the ass too.

Your right, I probably should have explained the situation better.

I have the username and password for unblocked internet but I don't want to distribute it because I know it will be changed very quickly if I do. Instead I want to setup this system, so I can ensure no-one abuses access.

Why wouldn't you just use PPTP or tunneling if you've already got a server outside of the network? Traffic is encrypted so you wouldn't have to worry about getting hit with generic filters, there would be next to no setup, and they would still be able to use their regular browsers, applications, etc.

So if I understand you right you already have access to unblocked internet, you just need a way to share it, right?
