Try to setup a “by-pass” proxy for iphone use

Filed under: 1 — dinhnhy @ 12:04 pm

Try to setup a “bypass firewall” proxy on a PC for iPhone use:

- Download the latest version of Privoxy from http://www.privoxy.org/
- Install it on the PC
- Edit the main configuration:

+ Section “listen-address”
-> Add in “listen-address :”

+ Section “Debugging” (for logging purpose)
-> Remove comment in these entry “debug 1″, “debug 1024″, “debug 4096″, “debug 8192″

+ For SOCKS proxy via SSH tunneling, modify this section “forward-socks4, forward-socks4a and forward-socks5″
-> Add in this entry: “forward-socks4 / 127.0.0.1:9999 .”
-> Add a tunnel in the SSH Putty: Dynamic, Source: 9999, Destination: empty

- Enable the application and start the Putty connection
- In iPhone, simply configure the HTTP proxy and point it to the correct IP & port

For more info about SSH tunnel, can ask Google or http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-tunnel-traffic-with-ssh/
For more info about Privoxy, refer to their documentation
