How to configure proxy settings in windows vista

Currently, I don't have much time to be digging documentation to see how could I configure it the way I want I tried to search but couldn't find any other proxy server Don't you have any other recommendations? And why do you need a gui??? Create a batch file with the command s needed to turn it on, create another that turns it off, etc.. This seems alot easy to switch between than some gui you have to click thru menus and buttons -- which you were complaining about ;.

Not right now with all my university exams and projects. Not complaining about the GUI itself And besides, I don't want to manually execute a batch file every time I start Windows.

I want it to autostart manually and be able to simply, click somewhere tray icon would be perfect to turn it off or on. But maybe I'm asking for very specific things. Well, I found this C lib to create a proxy server, maybe in the future, when I have free time, I'll code my own application to fit my needs, or maybe not I decided to give 3proxy a go I found a bit of spare time laying on the ground :p and after reading the howto, I came up with the following configuration file:.

But it's not working I changed the Firefox proxy settings to If I remove the "allow" and "parent" lines, I noticed that the proxy is working. The problem is in the chaining, the documentation is not very clear Not sure if that's the problem I just pinged proxy.

Maybe it's related to the way I'm testing this. Let me explain I mean, do you know of any simple application I could try and use the university SOCKS proxy so I could test 3proxy instead of trying to connect to my SSH server cause there might be some misconfiguration on that end As to a socks application -- what just an application that can use a socks proxy? IE and or Firefox can use a socks proxy, I use putty as simple socks proxy quite often when I need to tunnel something -- and then tunnel firefox thru it.

Is there anything wrong with using Yes, it works. But I was just wondering, you have far more understanding than me on this subject Search In.
