how to configure and install tinyproxy
By booyaa | October 15, 2005
The best use for this tool is to use ssh tunneling to allow you to surf anonymously at work. Assuming that you can ssh back into your boxen. The assumption with these instructions is that you don’t have root.
Download tiny from here http://tinyproxy.sourceforge.net/
- unpack the tarball
- run configure
- make
- copy /src/tinyproxy to your bin directory
- copy /doc/tinyproxy.conf to your bin directory
- the following lines:
- Port
- LogFile (point it to a place you have write perms, i’d avoid /tmp though.)
- PidFile (ditto)
- Allow (include your ssh host fully qualified domain name, if you’re using tunnelling)
- ./tinyproxy -c tinyproxy.conf
