To configure CGIProxy after installing it, run "./nph-proxy.cgi config". Here's a list of all the configuration options in CGIProxy, sorted into rough categories. The default settings are in square [] brackets, and should work fine for almost all situations, though see the section
An anonymous proxy server (sometimes called a web proxy) generally attempts to anonymize web surfing. Anonymizers may be differentiated into several varieties. The destination server (the server that ultimately satisfies the web request) receives requests from the anonymizing proxy server and thus does not receive information about the end user's address. A proxy server is a computer on the web that redirects your web browsing activity. Here's what that means. Normally, when you type in a website name (Amazon.com or any other), your Internet Service Provider (ISP) makes the request for you and connects you with the destination—and reveals your real IP address, as mentioned before. CGI proxy (anonymizer) helps to open any website directly in your browser. No additional configuration is required. Most often, such proxy is presented as a website where you can enter the address of the site you want to visit. SMTP, POP3 and IMAP proxies are used to send and receive e-mail. CGI Proxy: CGI proxy server developed to make the websites more accessible. It accepts the requests to target URLs using a web form and after processing its result will be returned to the web browser.
SERVER_NAME. Returns the host name of the server that received the request. For HTTP servlets, it is the same as the value of the CGI variable SERVER_NAME. SERVER_PORT. Returns the port number on which this request was received. For HTTP servlets, the value returned is the same as the value of the CGI variable SERVER_PORT. SERVER_PROTOCOL
The proxy_buffers directive controls the size and the number of buffers allocated for a request. The first part of the response from a proxied server is stored in a separate buffer, the size of which is set with the proxy_buffer_size directive. This part usually contains a comparatively small response header and can be made smaller than the

The proxy.cgi file itself doesn't need to be placed in the cgi-bin folder of the Apache server; it can go anywhere but you need to enable this by editing the following directive in the Apache httpd.conf file like below (where "C:/Apache24/htdocs" is taken to be the document root).
