| foo | I want to set up a personal proxy on ubuntu. Something I can use and auth with a user/pass on a specific port. | 19:18 |
|---|---|---|
| foo | Any suggestions on what I can use to easily set this up? | 19:19 |
| tomreyn | which type of proxy? | 19:20 |
| foo | tomreyn: for HTTP/HTTPS requests. Ideally, to be used within some python code for python requests. | 19:21 |
| tomreyn | apache2, nginx | 19:22 |
| foo | tomreyn: thanks, I'll look into nginx's set up for this. | 19:23 |
| tomreyn | it's probably easier / better documented with apache httpd, but YMMV | 19:24 |
| RoyK | squid? | 19:33 |
| RoyK | that is, squid is mostly for client accessing the ineternet - for reverse proxy, nginx is my favourite | 19:33 |
| foo | tomreyn: is what I'm after a forward proxy? | 19:35 |
| teward | foo: wait which direction do you want? | 19:35 |
| foo | tomreyn: eg. 3 machines on an external network, I want them to connect through this proxy so requests original from IP of proxy | 19:35 |
| teward | your computer -> Random Internet Site | 19:35 |
| teward | or Your computer -> VPS -> Internal Website? | 19:35 |
| foo | my computer -> proxy -> external site, IP gets shown to external site as IP on proxy | 19:35 |
| teward | because if you want to be able to access any website via another system so the 'endpoints' see your proxy IP instead of yourself you want a forward proxy | 19:35 |
| RoyK | foo: sounds like squid to me | 19:35 |
| teward | yeah you want a forward proxy which is what squid is | 19:35 |
| foo | RoyK: hey, been a minute. :) Thank you! | 19:36 |
| RoyK | foo: yeah, long time :) | 19:46 |
