[X-Unix] OT: Web proxy?

[John Harrold]

Sometime in August Eric F Crist assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| How, exactly, would that operate?  Would it be as simple as I stated  
| above, or would it require reconfiguration of the web browser on the  
| client's machine?

First you install squid on your server call it bob.com -- normally it runs
on port 3128. Then on the client you tell the webbrowser to use a proxy
server. For example in firefox: edit --> preferences --> general -->
connection settings. Select manual proxy configuration, and put bob.com and
3128 for your server and proxy port, respectively.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
