Installing a Proxy Server on FreeBSD - Privoxy
Setting up proxy on a FreeBSD server is very easy and helps to create a secure environment for your network, and also allows your whole network to access internet using a single internet connection.
Privoxy is a good proxy server. It’s very easy to use and worked well.
Installation
# cd /usr/ports/www/privoxy
# make install clean
# rehash
The configuration file is /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config, there is one line which must be changed:
listen-address 192.168.0.1:8119
The IP should be changed to your server’s internal LAN IP address. Also, it’s better to use a non-default port number for security reasons.
