Dear list, If I transfer money to wirecard bank outside Germany it says " Please note that Wirecard is currently not offered in your country." But I have no problem to do the same when I'm in Germany. Hence I have installed squid version-3 in a dedicated server located in Germany. I have configured it to work as an anonymous server with nsca_auth. Configured firefox to use that proxy and it shows the German IP. Even I can do my transaction with wirecard. What still is knocking me is the resource required to run the squid. That proxy is only required to work as an anonymous so that I can get the German IP whenever required. IS there any way to cut down the other features of a standard proxy from squid , so that it will be only an anonymous proxy ?
What features are you looking to cut? Why do you feel that Squid is using a lot of resources?
The authentication is based on nsca_auth and the access is based on http. Is in not a security risk ? I mean the userid/password flows as plain text. HOw can I encrypt it with SSL ?
Use digest auth instead. No browsers perform proxy auth over SSL.
Kindly enlighten me. Thanks ~~
