[TriLUG] I want to build an HTTP Proxy for Home

[Jon Carnes]

This should work for both. You just have to copy it over to the Windows
boxen's host file.

I use an active squid/squidguard proxy server - with all outbound port
80 requests forwarded from the firewall to the proxy server (with an
exception for the proxy server). The client machines don't even know
that they are being proxied.

This should soon be available via an appliance if it isn't already.
