CGIProxy is generally a proxy application which allow the user to access other websites through it. CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface where it is used when there are some form of restrictions on certain websites by the local ISPs (Internet Service Providers). CGIProxy is developed using a high level programming language called Perl and can be installed in most web servers which run the Perl program and supports Non-Parsed Header CGI scripts. This means that it can be used in most internet related protocols that include the common FTP, HTTP, Javascript and many others.
It is a free script that provides users the access to any website which runs of the same server although it is more commonly used to access blocked web sites while maintaining anonymity. This means that in a situation where one cannot access a website through the home PC which accesses the public ISP or through a computer in the company’s network which is channeled through the web server, then the CGIProxy can be used to go around the block. This is where you can easily access sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter if the company has a policy that blocks your access to the site.
