Re: [gentoo-user] Proxy server
Often ISPs have a connection details / client configuration details page which lists them. you could always try something like proxy.isp.com or proxy..isp.com etc... if its a national isp. try ports 80, 8080 and 3128. where city code is associated with your airport code, ie Brisbane is BNE, etc You could always email / ring them :) Also, they could be (which is quite likely) running a transparent proxy which you will be using anyway. A way to test for this is to setup a firewall rule on a remote network (not connected to your ISP's network) which only allows tcp/80 connections from your end point. if you can't connect, then you know you're running through a proxy :) Aaron Stout wrote: Just a quick question.

Well, I'm not sure exactly how squid would help you (it's just a web proxy: all it'll do is mirror HTTP requests), and a SOCKS proxy is just a similar thing for generalized *outgoing* connections. What you probably want to look into is port forwarding with iptables or ssh -- this'll make a port on the gateway machine forward connections to another machine behind the firewall. -- Andrew Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] proxy
i am need of a a proxy server, because my brother is on the lan, and he wants to make daemons, and i have all the ports :D i dont know anything about it, and i dont have much time, so i am in need of a secure and easy proxy server, i have heard about squid, not much, and i see that almost any programs support socks proxy (i dont know what it is). can anyone recommend a small easy and secure proxy that is socks compatible and that supports accounts made, without making system accoutnts for any user (like with proftpd)? thanks!! -- Regards, Redeeman () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\- against microsoft attachments -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
