Proxy Information

Hi All,

I'm trying to achieve access to the internet Via a Proxy, but then utilize a proxy I've been given by a mate to access his data on his remote computer.

I'm working through an ISA Box so I need some sort of software that will :

1. Authenticate me to the ISA server (much like what HTTP-Tunnel allows)
2. Allows my web browser to point to the proxy software (i.e... 127.0.0.1 port xxx - that of the proxy software)
3. Then the software allows me to configure the additional proxy server I want to use through the software which my mate has provided me.

Limitations are that I can only configure one proxy in Internet Explorer or Firefox, so I cannot use the proxy server my mate gave me direct or else I can't access the internet through the ISA Server.

I believe this is called chaining proxy's, but after googling for quiet some time, Haven't managed to find any software that allows me to manually add my own proxy in to the chain.

Some Assistance would be appreciated.

There's no software required. You'll need to setup a proxy server and redirect your traffic to that server. Then, on the proxy server you just setup, setup another proxy directed at your friend's server. Cheers.
 
Proxy Server re:

Hi mate,

Yes I understand. Is their an inbuilt proxy server within Windows 7 itself? Or will I require a 3rd party application to do that for me? I believe you were focusing that reply based on a linux distribution. Please tell me if that isn't the case.

Actually, I was thinking of Linux.

For Windows, you'll need a version of the Server family to use built-in techniques to create a proxy server, but if all you have is Windows 7, there are several other options. ProxyWay is an open source thrird-party application, but I can't vouch for it. A while back, I did use a program called WinProxy, but it's surely been updated by now, so again I can't vouch for it.

I was really hoping I could just give you a link to a PHP script that works really well, but that's ok. Hopefully, this helped a little. Cheers.
