Polipo - proxy for funplug 0.5

Hi all,

I wanted a http proxy on my ch3snas and found Polipo to be the best for me. Polipo is lightweight, has a web interface for configuration and has enough options (set in /ffp/etc/polipo/config).

Install with

Code:

funplug -i polipo-1.0.4.tgz

you have to have funplug 0.5 by fonz installed.

Isn't that almost the same as tunneling the traffic through SSH?... except that you might not need to login.

True, but a proxy also does the DNS query.

A good proxy does a lot more than just forwarding requests. Polipo is also a cache, it can filter and probably more.
