curious bout how the proxies are created

[hiro5id]

I looked at the source code but i'm not a native Python speaker :) It appears that it connects to a cloud provider such as Digital Ocean for example, and uses their API to spin up linux based Droplets. What I'm confused about is that I do not see where the actual proxy software is configured on the Droplet. Or are these Droplets that are pre-configured by Digital Ocean to already have the proxy software on it ?

Hey,

So basically cloudproxy uses the APIs of the various cloud providers to spin up instances. It provides this bash script to be run on start up which basically installs tinyproxy and configures it. Cloudproxy replaces the username and password on run.
