How do I make my home machine offer proxy for my machine at school. by prashker on 10-31-2008 at 05:32 PM

I want FireFox to use it (not the whole machine)

obviously i'll use the proxy thing in firefox to connect to it.

but how do i set it up on my PC at home for the process to be do-able :p?

PS: To connect I want it to be password protected somehow :p?

PPPPPSS: If it's easier to do computer wide then how do I do that :p

Or Tor?

Use SSH tunneling.

Setup a SSH server at your computer at home, use PuTTy at your school to connect through it and then set the proxy up in Firefox.

SSH tunneling is effective, but can be slow. It also doesn't help if you are unable to run foreign executable on a system like a school system.

Would this work, if the school requires you to use a proxy to connect to internet...

My school is not blocking anything I need access too :p.

This is for other things :p

yes
we do it
as far as they can tell it's just https traffic


just make sure ssh is running on 443
(we run ours on 443 cos we need to bypass an isa server blocking the ssl layer on anything but 443)
add me on msn and i'll help you set it up talk you through anything, the putty setup with proxy support isn't on the net but it's pretty easy ajlangford{at}hotmail{dot}com

install squid on it and open the correct ports on your router?

RE: How do I make my home machine offer proxy for my machine at school. by Jarrod on 11-02-2008 at 12:04 AM

i think ssh would be better,
would you still be able to connect to squid if the school routed all traffic through their gateway?

What is a good SSH server for Windows? I've only heard of like 2, and I forget their names :p

copssh is a package of open ssh but it does all the cygwin stuff for you highly recommend it
you could also use remotely anywhere by logmein and it has inbuilt ssh server and remote control, but it still uses open ssh code:P
