is there Wingate/Winproxy for Redhat Linux?


Recommended Posts

[Newbie in the house]

Well the topic-title says it . I want to set/start a proxy on my server so my Sis's client PC can connect Internet. On windown .. oops windoze.. damit.. windows Xp i used AnologX Proxy. So, what can i use for Linux .

Also , i am guessing there must be Proxy app in RH9 CDs (i hav all three) .. If yes , please tell.

Kyro :) .

if u tracked my previous posts, i have given-up on Wine/Kazaalite thing .. tried using Xmule.. but it doesnt search anything :(

OK i think i shuld make the scenario more clear. or maybe i want to bump .. maybe both

here is the deal:-

I hav 2 NICS on my PC (Server). Intel {Nic1} and Dlink {Nic2}. NIC1 is connected to net through cable Modem. Nic 2 is connected peer to peer on Client pc which has realtek Nic.

After running AnalogX proxys server. i goto client, use lan confiiguration in IE to configure my proxy address and browse net from there.

thats the whole deal i want to Emulate on Redhat 9 (server) and Mandrake 9.1/WindowsServer2003 (client).

And will Redhats ICS work here. should try it ..BRB

Yes what your trying to do can be done with Redhat - and everything you need is on the 3 CDs. But have you thought of just buying a dsl/cable router? They can be found for less than $50 US

The setup will be simple, you will no longer be tied to having to have one machine on for another to access the net. Which will allow for you to play with different OSs reboot at will, leave machine down for extended periods while playing with it, etc.. etc.. You will be more secure, since only ports you say to be open will be forwarded to any of the machines on your lan.

If still looking to get the speed boost and logging you can get from running a proxy - this still can be done, etc.. etc..

I would think that anyone that can afford high speed access, and multiple machines - should be able to afford a router.

Yup . thinking that for some time ...and it sounds so good..... Will get in soon :)

Budman , your are very right ...

To answer .. ya i can afford router .. but always think Should I , Do i really need it , Is it over kill , and after some wise words from friends and pals like you .. get it :) .. will tell u how it goes ;)

Prob solved guys. I am an absolute Newbie (in terms of installing , bash commands , configuring servies , loading services, configuring firewall and all this things) .

I struggled real hard with IP tables and Squid (using webmin). But my Friend (a linux guru) came to my house .. removed Iptables and Installed IP chains , then he telnet-downloaded a Ip mascareding script and configured the eTH's(Nic) settings. Viola ! .. *SWEET* .. my Sis can browse net through the other machine now. without a proxy man.

Man , was he (my friend) smoking bash commands in front of me .. I hav so much to learn.

Kyro. :) (smiles and lives happily after)Two bombs, not one, went off in BEST bus number 340 at Ghatkopar last night, the Mumbai police suspect.

?Early evidence suggests one of the bombs was hidden below the last seat on the right side and the other beneath the last seat on the left,? said Senior Police Inspector Jalinder Khandagale of the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad.

The question on their minds now is how the blast perpetrators succeeded in detonating the two explosives at the same moment, Khandagale said.

Bombs identical to those in Vile Parle, Mulund blasts

Two people died in yesterday?s explosion in a BEST bus on Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg, Ghatkopar, while over 30 were injured.

Senior Police Inspector Jalinder Khandagale of the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) said the bombs used were improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which had also been used in the Vile Parle blast on January 27 and the Mulund train explosion on March 13 this year.

Ghatkopar bomb blast: Photo Essay

IEDs are sophisticated bombs manufactured from commonly available chemicals, namely, potassium chlorate, potassium nitrate, potassium permanganate and ammonium nitrite, which act as an ?oxidiser.? Materials like sulphur, aluminum powder, arsenic sulphide, charcoal and sugar in finely powdered form act as ?fuel? for the oxidiser.

The ?oxidiser? and ?fuel? are mixed in an equal ratio to form an explosive mixture. Concentrated sulphuric acid is used to initiate the explosive charge.

Another BDDS officer said, ?Ammonium nitrate and gelatin sticks seem to be among the components of the bomb. We have handed over the burned articles from the blast site to the forensics department. The report will be complete today.?

The BDDS, however, is not yet sure of the splinters used in yesterday?s explosion.

?The rear of the bus was completely destroyed due to the explosion, but the middle and front were not badly damaged. Yet the intensity of the explosion was such that a motorcylist following the bus was thrown 15 feet away by its sheer force,? Khandagale pointed out.

    • Direct messaging is finally making its way to Threads by David Uzondu Meta has announced it will finally begin testing direct messages on Threads, claiming that it was a "top request" since the platform's big splash in July 2023. This has been a massive pain point for users. For nearly a year, attempting to have a private conversation meant awkwardly fumbling over to a linked Instagram account, which for some people, completely killed the experience of actually using the app. Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri acknowledged this, stating "we know how important messaging is" to the platform's mission. It makes sense; a social network without a private messaging feature feels incomplete, especially when it is trying to supplant X. The initial test for this overdue feature is now rolling out to a limited number of people in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Argentina, with a wider release planned for later. For serious users and creators who hate having to send people to other apps like Instagram for DMs, this is fantastic news. For others, it's just one more inbox to check. Users included in the test will spot a new envelope icon on the main navigation bar, located at the bottom on mobile and on the left-side menu on the desktop site. The company, in typical fashion, has not offered a concrete timeline on when everyone else gets access, only saying it will expand "soon". In related news, Threads recently migrated its web presence from the old threads.net address to the much cleaner threads.com domain. That old domain was a leftover from the launch because Meta did not actually own the .com version, which was later scooped up. This change came alongside a cluster of other improvements to the web app, including a pop-up post composer that follows you as you scroll and provides easier access to your saved and liked posts.

    • Several UI improvements masquerading as a major update. I'm truly hating this trend.
    • OpenAI to use Google Cloud despite rivalry, diversifying beyond Microsoft by Paul Hill To help it meet its massive computing demands for training and deploying AI models, OpenAI is looking into a surprising partnership with Google Cloud to use its services. It was widely seen that OpenAI was Google’s biggest threat, but this deal puts an end to the idea that the pair are purely competing. The two companies haven’t made any public announcement about the deal but a source speaking to Reuters claimed that talks had been ongoing for a few months before a deal was finalized in May. Notably, such a deal would see OpenAI expand its compute sources beyond Microsoft Azure. Microsoft had arrangements in place with OpenAI since 2019 that gave it the exclusive right to build new computing infrastructure for the startup. This limitation was loosened earlier this year with the announcement of Project Stargate. OpenAI is now allowed to look elsewhere for compute if Microsoft is unable to meet the demand. A win for Google Cloud, a challenge for Google's AI strategy The deal will see Google Cloud supply computing capacity for OpenAI’s AI model training and inference. This is a big win for Google’s Cloud unit because OpenAI is a massive name in AI and it lends credence to Google’s cloud offering. It also justifies Google Cloud’s expansion of its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for external use. On the back of the news, Alphabet’s stock price rose 2.1%, while Microsoft’s sank 0.6%, showing investors think it’s a good move for Google too. While many end users don’t interact with Google Cloud the same way they do with something like Android or Chrome, Cloud is actually a huge part of Google’s business. In 2024, it comprised $43 billion (12%) of Alphabet’s total revenue. With OpenAI as a customer, this figure could rise even more given the massive amounts of compute OpenAI needs. By leveraging Google’s services, it will also give OpenAI access to the search giant’s Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). Unlike GPUs, these chips are specifically designed to handle the kinds of calculations that are most common in AI and machine learning, leading to greater efficiency. Google’s expansion of these chips to external customers has already helped it attract business from Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence. While Google will happily take OpenAI’s money, it needs to tread carefully giving compute power to a rival, which will only make OpenAI more of a threat to Google’s search business. Specifically, it’ll need to manage how resources are allocated between Google’s own AI projects and its cloud customers. Another issue is that Google has been struggling to keep up with the overall demand for cloud computing, even with its own TPUs, according to its Chief Financial Officer in April. By giving access to OpenAI, it means even more pressure. Hopefully, this will be short lived as companies compete to build out capacity to attract customers. OpenAI's push for compute independence Back in 2019 when Microsoft became OpenAI’s exclusive cloud partner in exchange for $1 billion, the AI landscape was much different. End users wouldn’t have access to ChatGPT for another 3 years and the rate of development of new models was less ferocious than it is today. As OpenAI’s compute needs evolve, its relationship with Microsoft has had to evolve too, including this deal with Google and the Stargate infrastructure program. Reuters said that OpenAI’s annualized run rate (the amount they’ll earn in one year at its current pace) had surged to $10 billion, which highlights its explosive growth and need for more resources than Microsoft alone can offer. To make itself more independent, OpenAI has also signed deals worth billions of dollars with CoreWeave, another cloud compute provider, and it is nearing the finalization of the design of its first in-house chip, which could reduce its dependency on external hardware providers altogether.
