3/13    Can anybody suggest a proxy server that runs on windows?  I'm not
        experienced with setting up proxies but would like to set up one using
        encryption.  Would I have to seperately set up a VPN and then run the
        proxy over that connection?
        \_ Just out of curiosity, what's the situation?  What are you
           planning to proxy?
           \_ Primarily 'questionable' http and bittorrent traffic.
        \_ Try squid:
           http://www.acmeconsulting.it/pagine/opensource/squid/squidnt25.htm
        \_ Probably should have been more specific.  I think I want some sort
           of encrypted SOCKS proxy. -op
           \_ Perhaps openssh's -D option?

5/18    On my Win7 machine, I've been using a PuTTY ssh session to soda as a
        proxy for my FireFox to bypass my company's OpenDNS when I visit
        http://tv.yahoo.com and so on.  It has been working fine for a long while.
        However, in the past couple weeks or so, my FireFox would either take
        several minutes to load the page, or failes to load it after several
        minutes.  I haven't changed any settings on my Win7 machine.  Rebooting

8/19    Is there such a thing as a IMAP->POP proxy? I want to use Gmail on
        a server that only supports IMAP, and Gmail only connects to POP.

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.

7/4     Is there a web browser available on soda?  My employer has a firewall
        blocking some web sites.
        \_ How about setting up a web proxy on Soda?

                \_ lynx?

5/7     Help, I think something's wrong with my network setting. I'd go to
        a web site, and then it would say "cannot find address". Then I'd
        reload again, occassionally 3 times, to load the page. Is this
        due to DNS being too slow, TTL setting, or something else?
        \_ windows mac or linux ?
           \_ windows (company issued laptop, no alternative)

3/27    i just want to set up a proxy.  squid is too annoying.  privoxy
        locks too much content down.  any tips ?
        \_ Use ssh's built-in SOCKS server.  On the client, run "ssh -D1080
           proxyhost", and then set your browser to use localhost:1080 as a
           SOCKS proxy.
           \_ best advice. Fuck squid. SSH has everything.

1/26    is there a Firefox extension that lets me change what
        proxy I am connected to?  Foxyproxy appears to not redirect
        in several circumstances.
        \_yes.
          \_ oh you're back.

12/6    I got my g1 phone to provide my laptop with internet access.
        It wasn't too painful.
        \_ throw enough money at a problem and it gets solved
        \_ was it real protocol-independent internet access, or were you just
           using the phone as a web proxy?
           \_ Tetherbot on the g1 creates a socks proxy

The rest of the (original) cmdline switches when running as a Service must be used once with the -O switch. If multiple service command line options must be specified, use quote. Don't use the "Start parameters" in the Windows 2000/XP/2003 Service applet: they are specific to Windows services functionality and Squid is not designed for understand they. org This Squid build can support multiple Squid service instances running from the same executable, so the service name MUST be ALWAYS specified when using all -k, -O commands even running only one instance. Every instance must have a different service name, use different TCP ports, use different logs and cache directory and use a different configuration file. So, when installing the service, if don't using the default settings (c:/squid,SquidNT Service Name), the service name and the associated config file MUST be specified. The same when removing or running squid -k or -O commands. cmd * When Squid runs in command line mode, the launching user account must have administrative privilege on the system * "Start parameters" in the Windows 2000/XP/2003 Service applet cannot be used Known Limitations: * Squid features not operational: DISKD: needs to be ported - Volunteers are welcome WCCP: cannot work because GRE support on Windows is missing - Volunteers are welcome Transparent Proxy: missing Windows non commercial interception driver * Some code sections can make blocking calls * Some external helpers may not work * File Descriptors number hard-limited to 2048 At this time Windows is a platform partially supported from Squid Communi ty.
