Web Proxy ??

[lexsco]

Hi There.

We have a web server on the inside of our filewall (internal address is 192.168.x.x) We want people to be able to access this system, however, we have been told to set up a proxy server on the other side of the firewall. What software would you recommend to do this and is it reasonably easy to configure ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

And for a great starter on setting up a transparent proxy :

I have a somewhat basic transparent proxy that I've written in Java, just in case you're interested. Set up is pretty simple. I.E., put it on machine that has Java support, type java WProxy, and away you go (providing you set your browsers up for an HTTP proxy).

You dont need a proxy to access a server inside the firewall. What kind of firewall is it? With hardware firewalls this is usually done by setting a static route and opening the port for that route. If its a linux firewall then we can give you some iptables info.

No, you don't necessarily need one, and I'm surprised I didn't recommend just forwarding 80/443 into the internal address.(that's what I do)
