hello,

If u think my question is childish please ignore..

suppose I've my own server and I want my home PC to show my Server's IP ( I mean proxying ) while browsing or using SSH, is it possible? please reply.

if you login by SSH to your own dedicated server your home IP will show up. I'm not sure what you really mean though,. Are you trying to setup a proxy server on your dedicated machine and then enter the proxy settings in your local browser ?

There are proxy software that you can install on your site on that server that would use that IP to surf web sites.

Just to follow up with the last post, I don't know much about it but one I've encountered a few times is ngh-proxy.pl (I believe there is a php version available as well). As for ssh, could you not just ssh into your server first before making other connections?

Squid proxy server is an easy-to-setup and fairly secure piece of software. It supports SSL, HTTP, FTP, caching of DNS lookups and offers you extensive administration features such as acl's, site "blacklisting" & content filtering.

If your server runs a linux/unix distribution, you can get the latest tarball from http://www.squid-cache.org/ (current version is 2.6 I think). There used to be a windows port avaliable on SourceForge (link) with administrative features, called the "Squid configurator" or something. It used to work quite well too.

Alternatively you could setup a VPN between you and your server and configure your firewall to forward all requests from SOURCE {HOME-IP} on port 80 on your "virtual connection" (eg. the CHAP connection OpenVPN sets up) to the live internet connection (probably eth0).

The short and sweet is that unless you have fairly extensive knowledge of your operating system and the proxy software, you are unlikely to be able to find a "quick-and-easy" method of achieving what you're looking for.

If I was allowed to, I'd offer you my services (at cost), but the forum rules prohibit it.

If you're looking for an engineer to help you setup your system, you should post a request in the Employment Opportunities section.

Good luck!
Regards,

try socat, it can do wonderfull port forwarding

If you have a windows server you could use remote desktop. This allows you to connect to the server and work from it as if you were sitting in front of it. All the IP addresses would be the servers as that is actually the computer veiwing the pages or connecting to other servers ssh. There is something similar available for linux, and that is VNC.

Assuming the linux box is running a GUI, which (for a server) is just plain dumb.
