I recommend <a href="http://bitfolk.com/">http://bitfolk.com/</a> or <a href="http://www.bytemark.co.uk/">http://www.bytemark.co.uk/</a></p> <p>Use Debian and <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/squid3.html">squid3</a>.</p> <p><code>sudo vim /etc/squid3/squid.conf</code> and add the foreign IP (example uses 121.121.121.121) like so:</p> <pre><code>acl localhost src 121.121.121.121 </code></pre> <p><code>sudo /etc/init.d/squid3 restart</code> and <code>tail -f /var/log/squid3/access.log</code></p> <h2>Configuring the foreign user&#8217;s browser</h2> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hendry/4901299832/" title="Proxy configuration for Firefox by Kai Hendry, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4901299832_996a76eaa1.jpg" width="451" height="461" alt="Proxy configuration for Firefox" /></a></p> <p>In Firefox, find the proxy configuration tab and enter the IP of the server.</p> <p>Ask user to access a site and track <code>tail -f /var/log/squid3/access.log</code> to make sure it works.</p>
