Okay, so I have a linux box connected to the internet (static ip). I want to be able to access my linux box from anywhere via http or https (using my browser) and see a page which asks me to enter a URL within a page.
so if i type
formatting link
within this page, it should login to hotmail etc..etc.. for me indirectly. just tryign to bypass some firewalls.
i want to know what open source software lets me do this for linux
That would port forward your proxy traffic to your remote box.
--------------------------------------- I do believe there is a socks proxy built into ssh as well you may want to check the man page.
--------------------------------------- I would also suggest installing a plugin such as foxyproxy, or switchproxy to quickly switch between the two (it will be necessary if you have to access any intranet sites.)
