How can PHP be used to create a proxy server to access restricted websites?

To create a proxy server using PHP to access restricted websites, you can create a script that acts as an intermediary between the user and the restricted website. This script will fetch the content from the restricted website and then serve it to the user, effectively bypassing any restrictions. This can be achieved by using cURL to make requests to the restricted website and then outputting the retrieved content to the user. 

<?php
$url = $_GET['url'];

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

echo $response;
?>
