Re: http_proxy with firefox?

2006-08-20 Thread Kevin Veroneau
Hello.

I use transproxy which is a transparent proxy.  Of course this is only usable 
if you have a debian router/gateway.  A transparent proxy completely prevents 
anyone from attempting to bypass or even know that a proxy is even there. ;)

To use a transproxy you will also need to use this iptables rule:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING --protocol tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 
8081

Change 8081 to which ever your proxy port maybe. Happy hacking :)

Kevin.

You can also use a proxy, local to your machine, lightweight : tinyproxy.
You can add a parent proxy to it's config (upstream server:port) with  a 
script launched at network start.

Configure all your browsers, environment variables and tools to use your local 
proxy.

If all else fails then you could tell firefox to use a pac file for
proxy configuration. You can use a simple script to change this file (or
redirect a symlink) depending on which network is detected.

I also use switch-proxy, which *is* nice.  I have my laptop setup to 
automatically set the environment variable depending on where I am.  KDE does a 
nice job and allows one to use the environment variables.  I haven't figured 
out how to do it wich Firefox though...

Thanks, Chris
