Proxy Software For VPS

Is there a software I can use on my VPS that will allow me to use it as a private proxy server?

I'm trying to setup the type of IPort proxy that you can enter the IP address and port number into Firefox or Internet Explorer and it runs in the background unnoticed.

Any ideas?

 

You could just create an SSH tunnel using your SSH client, all you need to do is login to the VPS through SSH and set up tunneling in Putty, then direct your browser's proxy to use to 127.0.0.1 : port

I'm really looking for a way to do this just using the browser. I want it to work everytime the browser is used without having to login using SSH. It is going to be used by someone that I don't want to give SSH access to.

Any other ideas?

 

you can use squid proxy..

if you want it easy to manage, install webmin on your vps will do the trick.. google : webmin+squid

 

I think the best proxy now is nginx
