Project Uguduwa

Project Uguduwa is an Open Source web based proxy or what is also called a url rewriting proxy. A web based proxy does not require browser configuration. The idea was to write a clean and easy to understand implementation of a Php web proxy that would run most sites with minimal customization.

This proxy also has the ability to serve advertisements. A unique feature is the ability to classify the content that is being viewed and show advertisements based on the classification. This proxy's unique feature is that it can also be rented out. What we mean by this is that third parties can publish advertisements through your proxy.

The proxy will run on all shared hosting providers, is easy to change and works fairly well with a variety of sites.
