Turning a Home Computer into a Proxy Server

[323]

That is incredibly sexy.
Wasn't there a kid that got suspended or something like that for something similar? I believe I remember reading something about it before.

Lol kids get suspended all the time for proxies and shit, it's no big deal though.

@OP: Why not just use one of the 9001 free proxies out there? Don't use a web-based proxy or Tor, they have tons of IP-based proxies and stuff that you can just configure Firefox to use. (Or chrome, if that's your thing).

I'm curious why you would choose a web proxy over Tor. Tor has always been my go to if I really need a quick anonymity, and it protects you from a lot more as well. Sure there are some FBI nodes, and bad exit nodes etc, but none that are really concerned with you. Webproxies are designed to profit, and often strip features and are overall slower than a vindilia bundle or Tor.

Technically I probably could get suspended, but I won't.
Using a proxy of any sort is against the rules at my school.

For security, again. Any of the free proxies you're using (excluding Tor) are logging all that information you send out.

I control the communication between my laptop and my home server, making it a bit more secure than a random proxy.

It's much more reliable too, and the speeds are better. I don't feel like having to find a new proxy every time one goes down.

I do use Tor under certain circumstances, but again, my home server is faster, and my IP doesn't get blacklisted on Google like a lot of Tor nodes do. If I was doing something shady I obviously wouldn't use my home computer, but for me there's more speed and reliability than a random proxy or a Tor node. (Though a Tor node would have much better security)

What won't you kids get suspended for anyways? Be kewl drop out of skewl
Though keep in mind, tor exit nodes will sometimes store info from where you came from, your IP etc. If you are really worried on shady stuff, you could just make a program that uses Tor and jumps identities every 5 minutes or so.

Yeah, again, if I'm going to do something shady. Tor.
This is just for casual school usage and such.
What, drop out of school and become a wantreprenuer? Na.

Use webproxy to study League of Legends at school all day.
Drop out.
Become a League of Legends pro player.
Thought that was obvious.

In case Art visits this thread:

By the way, Artificial, would you consider including syntax highlighting for different languages on here?

I second this
