techie ip type question
 

Suppose I have a FreeBSD server with 10 IPs

And I have 10 machines at home

And I want to setup a proxy server on the FreeBSD machine to use its 10 IPs for my 10 machines at home

Is this possible?

Planning to dispatch some "informative" schlong growing mailings :Graucho

Yes you can mask the free bsd box to not let a trace go further then that box. Your i.p. at will still be the same but the proxy will show as the end of line.

You can even have all 10 i.p.'s rotate for each connection so they can pinpoint your i.p. for very long even on the free bsd box.

Yup

this is NOT for email, I dont do email spam or opt in mailing or anything else concerning email

well thats close to what I need... is there any way to assign one ip per home computer though? I'm not worried about masking anything

Not really.... to assign a i.p. a computer the computer has to be behind the subnet, you could only mask a system out of the subnet giving the allusion you are on the i.p. "like from the freebsd box" but if you wanted to ssh to that i.p. it could not connect to your home computer only the free bsd server.

You can do a vpn but this costs about 2 g's a month for a local pop.

There's lot's of tricks though maybe make a fake id re-sign up here and explain what you plan on using this for and we will try to help more.

what I'm using it for is submitting things, and I can only submit so many things from one IP, getting more IPs at home isnt an option

Here's some instructions for Apache... it's what I used and pretty simple to follow...

tinyproxy

Ooops... where the the link go?

:)

Using tinyproxy would be easier.

Is this the one?

http://tinyproxy.sourceforge.net/

Yap... it's good stuff.

Very simple to setup and I am pretty sure it supports using random rotating proxies from a list if you wanted to do that.... if not, it could probably be hacked in pretty easily :winkwink:

But I think this guy is just wanting to setup 10 fixed proxies for his 10 IP's rather than have them unpredictably rotate.

So he would probably want to do 10 tinyproxy installs just to keep things simple.

thats great... but can i setup 1 per ip that the server has? Otherwise there is no point, it would be using the same ip, which is the problem i have now

yes, exactly. I need stable, fast proxies. Thats why i wanted to set them up on my server rather than scanning for anonymous ones, they go down or are too slow, plus I'm not trying to hide from anything. just need these machines to be on different IPs.

Hmmm actually yeah all your outgoing connections are going to go through your boxes main IP (since the other 9 ips are aliased).

On the other hand.....

You might be able to get cheap $10/mo hosting accounts at different places and run tinyproxy from them. :winkwink:

Or you could use public/open proxies... but others may be doing the same & you might wind up getting banned.

yeah the public proxies is what I'm trying to avoid

Cool, I'll try it out... THANKS!

No there is no such thing is going out the primary IP, as at that level its routed across MAC addresses, and to reach a site, yes it will use the primary network card. Go with the 10 tinyProxy installs ( I believe this is hahahahahahas ), under FreeBSD you can run SQUID or some other proxy, bind 1 per ip, for a total of 10.

Direct your home machines to connect to each IP individually and your set.

OR if you're just submitting galleries, use public IPs as it doesn't matter, and you can find some pretty decent ones quickly ;) And no setup hassle yaay!!!

thanks for the help zagi

I got tinyproxy running under freebsd now and it works great until i do something like try to login to yahoo, you know where the little lock icon appears at the bottom of your browser... it doesnt work for that, it kicks me back to the signup page

any ideas how to work around that?

Ah, someone else trying to circumvent the tgp rules via multiple ips, cheaters just never learn.

get a life, i dont do tgp, I do search engines

Yeah most likely its changing your user-agent and it might be blocking it, see if you can get the proxy to be completely transparent and not change any headers, just a guess, never done this before.

Yay me -- 200th post :)

Zagi, you rock!!

that fixed the problem, thanks
