Hello, I would like to share my experience about creating a special proxy.
I take a small vps with 64-128-196 megabyte of RAM.
You can get a trial vps for seven days to many web hosters
I installed Ubuntu 8.04 as operating system. Several providers give you a basic Ubuntu installation: you have to install openssh and dillo using this commands:
$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
$ sudo apt-get install dillo
OpenSSH (ht*p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSH) allows you to connect remotely to your vps and enabling x forward support, you can open a window in you home pc (or laptop) but application is on virtual private server.
Dillo is a light web browser, which takes very little of memory.
To enable X forwarding open /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on vps and change X11Forwarding no to X11Forwarding yes
Reload ssh daemon on vps:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
On your laptop, in order to connect graphically to dillo on vps, digit:
$ sudo apt-get install openssh-client
$ ssh -X dikdik@vps-ip-address dillo
dikdik will be replace with your login name on vps and vps-ip-address with the ip address of you virtual server.
After running them, it has to appear a window of dillo web browser (on your laptop) that is installed on your virtual server.
So you can surf on Internet using this "special" proxy.
