Setup squid to use multiple outgoing IP addresses

Feb 152012

Today I want to just give you a pill, but I’m sure that even if is short this article will save a lot of time to someone who, like me, has this requirement.
Having a machine with Linux and various IP (which can be IPv4 and / or ipv6) and a Squid Proxy Server configure your browser to use that proxy on one of these IP and go out from that server with the same IP and not with the default ip .

This can be useful if you have services that require 1 specific IP to be allowed, or if you want to give the proxy server to different people and still be able to trace what they do.
To achieve this we’ll use the ACL, Squid has very good ACL’s (Access Control Lists) built into the squid.conf file, allowing you to lock down or control the access by names, IP’s, networks, time of day, actual day. Remember however that like every firewall the more complicated an ACL is, the slower Squid will be to respond to requests. Continue reading »

4 Linux programs to open a Remote Desktop on Windows

It seem impossible for me to get rid of all the windows server that our company still has, some have custom software made years ago that no one want to touch, other have management console for Vmware or Cisco appliance..that run only on Windows or again some product relesed their software only for windows, so in short i still have to login sometime on a Windows server from my PC with Linux, so what’s the best way to do this ?

The best protocol to do this is RDP. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft, which provides a user with a graphical interface to another computer. Clients exist for most versions of Microsoft Windows (including Windows Mobile), Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, Android, and other modern operating systems. By default the server listens on TCP port 3389

Microsoft currently refers to their official RDP server software as Remote Desktop Services, formerly “Terminal Services”. Their official client software is currently referred to as Remote Desktop Connection, formerly “Terminal Services Client“.

But now back on Linux, let’s take a look at rdesktop, TSClient, Remmina e PAC

Redirect all (TCP) traffic through transparent socks5 proxy in Linux

Jan 282012

SOCKet Secure (SOCKS) is an Internet protocol that routes network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. SOCKS5 additionally provides authentication so only authorized users may access a server. Practically, a SOCKS server will proxy TCP connections to an arbitrary IP address as well as providing a means for UDP packets to be forwarded.

As SOCKS (as it was already marked above) transfers all data from a client to a server, nothing adding from itself, from the point of view of a web-server, a socks proxy is a client. Therefore anonymity of this type of proxy servers is really always absolute.

In this article we’ll see how to use redsocks to achieve a SOCKS proxy.
