How to Easily Make a Proxy Site Using Replit and Metallic

on

 Creating your own proxy site might sound complicated, but with modern tools and free hosting services, it’s easier than ever. Whether you want to bypass restrictions or experiment with web technology, this guide will walk you through setting up a proxy site in just a few steps.

In this tutorial, we’ll use Metallic (a free proxy from GitHub) and Replit (a hosting service that supports Node.js). Let’s get started!

Step 1: Choose a Free Proxy

For our tutorial, we’ll use Metallic, a simple and effective proxy project hosted on GitHub:
👉 https://github.com/cognetwork-dev/Metallic

This will provide the foundation of our proxy site.

Step 2: Choose a Hosting Service That Supports Node.js

You need a hosting service that can run Node.js apps. In this guide, we’ll use Replit because it’s beginner-friendly, offers free plans, and supports deployments with Node.js.

Step 3: Set Up Your Hosting Environment

Follow these steps to deploy your proxy site on Replit:

  1. Log in to Replit and click on “Import code or design.”

  2. Select “GitHub.”

  3. Paste the Metallic repo URL:

    https://github.com/cognetwork-dev/Metallic

  4. Set the project to Private (for security).

  5. Click “Clone.”

Step 4: Install Dependencies

  1. In the bottom-right corner, open the Shell tab.

  2. Run these commands:

    npm install -g pnpm
pnpm install

This will install the required dependencies for Metallic.

Step 5: Deploy Your Proxy

  1. On the top right, click the “+” tab and choose “Deployments.”

  2. Select a plan (Autoscale or Reserved VM). For beginners, Autoscale with one machine is enough.

  3. Click “Approve and configure build settings.”

  4. Choose a web address, for example:

    • unbl0cked.replit.app

    • khan.replit.app

  5. Configure the build and run commands:

    • Build command:

      pnpm run build

    • Run command:

      pnpm start

  6. Click Deploy.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Proxy Site! 🎉

That’s it! Your proxy site should now be live and accessible from the web address you chose. You can share it with friends or use it privately to access blocked content.

Final Thoughts

With Metallic and Replit, you can set up a proxy site in under an hour—even if you’re new to coding. While free plans are often enough, upgrading your hosting service can give you more performance and reliability if you expect heavy traffic.
