HTTP Proxy? Squid?

[JohnMorris]

Hi,

Can I proxy via Putty HTTP, using my webserver?

Is there a proxy available, such as Squid?

Thanks,

JM

Hello,
I'm afraid, you can't do it on our shared servers. But if you like, proxy can be setup on a dedicated server.

Alexander,

Thanks for your speedy reply. I am on Olga, on a shared server, yes? So this means I can proxy?

What is the proxy software that I should use please? I'm looking for as simple as possible. I will be connecting via Putty and SSH.

Thanks,

JM

Sorry, a typo. You can't do it on a shared server. But in case you have a dedicated server, it is up to you to install and use such software.

Alexander,

Oh. Now I'm depressed. There's a huge price difference in dedicated versus shared!!! Can GlowHost not consider providing proxy capabilities for shared? Is it a bandwidth issue?

Thanks,

JM

You can try VPS in case you can't afford dedicated server. This is bandwidth, performance and security issue. I'm afraid, we can't allow it on shared servers.
