It seem that the project is abandoned tough - but hey if it works: dont fix it. Anyway I think there is many alternatives for simple proxy solutions out there. Might even be possible to combine it with SUMO Access Manager.

On my daughters little netbook I made a simple solution by placing a sshfs connect script in the folder which is the mountpoint. So when she enters the folder and the ssh file system is not mounted, well the script is right there to be launched ;-) But in many cases a Linux desktop user dont need mounting the filesystem at all. At least KDE Dolphin can handle files directly over ssh by typing fish://u...@server in the path (I think Nautilus can do equal by typing ssh:... in the path line). > > Still sometimes we have users ending up behind firewalls which do not > > allow ssh, imaps or smtps.
