3 What did Tak do?
Tak set up a proxy server in the apartment. This is what Tak did:
- Get a Pentium 3 computer, install the 20GB hard disk, and set up Linux. Of course, knowing Tak, it’d be
Debian Linux.
- Install squid. This can be done by a single command apt-get install squid3 in Debian.
- Configure the squid proxy server.
- Change the residential gateway/firewall to assign a fix IP address to the squid box. This way, the squid box
can use DHCP, but still be guaranteed to get the same IP address every time.
- Change the browser of each user computer to use the squid box as a proxy server.
Cools, that sounds easy!
