How do I set up a proxy server in Xubuntu?
- by Dolphin
NOTICE: I am completely allowed to do this. This is not meant for accessing sites I am not supposed to go on
I know that most threads with "Proxy" in the title have to do with getting to sites they're not supposed to go on.
I hope that I can get this to be as easy as possible. I hope it can be as easy as setting up an OpenSSH server.
What happened
My dad has just screwed something up in our router settings, and I can't access Google anymore because if it. I need to be able to access Google. He doesn't like me in the router because he thinks I will make it worse. (I am sick of Bing and Yahoo)
So I want to set up a proxy server that will allow me to work around what he screwed up.
What I want to do
I want to host it on a computer in my grandpa's house, and access it with my computer at my dad's house. It's running Xubuntu. I want it to work with the Mozilla Firefox on my computer at my dad's house running Ubuntu 11.10.
How can I set this up?
This is only temporary until he fixes whatever he did.
