English Applications

Hi there. Any experienced proxy users in here? Goood. :wink:

Using Socks5 and other better Proxies is working great with Proxifier
under Windows.
Are there such great tools under or for Linux somewhere?

Setting up SSH to do proxying is trivialā€¦

ssh -D 8080 username@remoteBoxThatIsYours

Once done point your browser to localhost:8080 and I think you should be
golden.

Good luck.

Whouā€¦that was a quick answer. For sure. I donā€™t like to set up the
thing manually. Isnā€™t there some kind of Proxifier for Linux systems?

Cā€™mon!

I have no idea what Proxifier isā€¦ whatā€™s it do? How does it work?
Yes, I could Google that, but Iā€™m only volunteering and am quite a bit
lazyā€¦

Good luck.

Maybe youā€™re thinking of something like openVPN?

> Introduction
>
> Proxifier is a program that allows network applications that do not
> support working through proxy servers operate through a HTTP or SOCKS
> proxy server or a chain of proxy servers.
>
> With Proxifier you can easily tunnel all connections on the system or
> separate applications.
> Proxifier allows you to:
>
> * Run any network applications through proxy server; no special
> configuration is required for the software.
> * Access the Internet from restricted local area network through a
> proxy server gateway.
> * Bypass firewall restrictions (connect to restricted ports).
> * Use three types of proxy servers: SOCKS v4, SOCKS v5, and HTTP.
> * ā€œTunnelā€ the entire system (force all network connections in the
> system work through a proxy server).
> * Resolve DNS names through a proxy server.
> * Use flexible Proxification Rules.
> * Secure privacy by hiding your IP address.
> * Work through a chain of proxy servers using different protocols.
> * Use NTLM authentication on HTTP proxy
> * View information on current connections (addresses, rate, data
> transfer, connection time, etc.) in real-time.
> * View information on bandwidth usage as a colored diagram in
> real-time.
> * Maintain log files.
> * Log incoming and outgoing traffic.
> * Get detailed reports on network errors.
> * ā€¦ and much more.

Iā€™d still look at openVPN. Youā€™re not really saying what youā€™re trying
to accomplish so itā€™s hard to recommend anything specific.

tor, privoxy, and for a gui vidalia ?? you were thinking something along
these lines ? although this is more of an anonymity, if you run your own
exit node than more is possible with the custom services

tor and privoxy you can find them in the packman repoā€™ couldnt find
vidalia though

ā€˜Tor: anonymity onlineā€™ (http://www.torproject.org/)

ā€˜Privoxy - Home Pageā€™ (http://www.privoxy.org/)

ā€˜Vidalia - Homeā€™ (http://vidalia-project.net/)
