proggR Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Has anyone ever made their own simple webproxy? How hard would it be to make? If its really easy I may make one tonight if it doesn't take much. I just need one that isn't known by my works filter. I know that if they block them its for good reason, but at the same time when its 20 minutes between calls I don't see me checking mail to be such a bad thing.

Daniel0 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Just use Google Translate and translate from English to English. I doubt they'll block Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proggR Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Actually they did lol. Not all of it, but that page gets blocked. I ended up finding one that I'm using for now but usually you'll get about two days out of it before its blocked as well. And this one doesn't seem to run JS at all so a lot of the functionality of things I'm using is gone anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 You could use your computer at home or a dedicated server/VPS you have and tunnel the connection through that. They could block that as well of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proggR Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 The only problem with that is I have dialup at home so my computer isn't connected to the internet unless I'm at it. Would it be hard to make one? I doubt it'd be as simple as having an input, getting that input and passing it to view?site=www.site.com which includes it. I mean that would likely work to view the sites, but its hardly a proxy. And the sites would likely still come up blocked wouldn't they? Or since its parsed at the server would they come up fine as long as my page isn't blocked? I guess it doesn't really matter because I have 5 more shifts but its something I'd likely use or want to know in the future as well.

Daniel0 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 You can just have SSH running on a remote computer and then do ssh user@remote_address -L 8080:remote_address:80 -fN Then set the proxy in your browser to use localhost:8080. There is some way to do it using Putty as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardyandkari Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 be careful though...i am sure that the it department has the capability to track what you're doing...at the call center i work in, they can pull reports somehow and they will show up at your desk and either tell you not to do it again, or walk you out the door (depending on how many times they talk to you about it.)

corbin Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Apache is pretty easy to make into a proxy. mod_proxy (in my opinion) is about as simple as it gets besides Daniel0's example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done here in a week so I'm not overly concerned about that lol. Do you mind if I ask what logging tool you use? We have a really crappy one here. The last contract I was on had a much better one (Action Request System from BMC/Remedy). This is a crappy webapp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 If you're out in a week then why do you bother trying to circumvent their blocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proggR Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 More or less just to learn how it would work. And because I don't suspect the proxy I'm using will last until I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
