Webservers sharing a port

[bgowland]

I've never used either of them but I've heard of CCProxy and 3Proxy. You could try googling for them. Might be worth looking at Tucows and Sourceforge as well to see if there's anything.

Bit of a change in requirements. How easy would it be to run my own (private & secure) proxy server like those listed on proxy.org? Work has just blocked all the good websites!

Sorry for all the questions, but it's nice having some proper network buffs to talk to

Are there any network/webserver admins out there?

I'd like to run:
*An ASP webserver
* uTorrent webadmin
* GB-PVR EWA

all from the same box, and all using the same DYNDNS address and port number (80). Is this possible?

If in IIS your main entry page were an ASP you could use the ASP collection 'server variables' and on the basis of the URL let a CASE construct switch to the appropriate page with a response.redirect. Below an example of switching on the basis servername

SELECT Case Request.ServerVariables("server_name")
Case "www.acme.org" response.redirect("http://www.acme.org")
Case Else response.redirect("index.html")
END SELECT

EDIT: This example is just for illustrating the basic mechanism. Properly setting of multiple domain names is done via the advanced properties of IIS.

I have the same issue, here's what I did that works well for me.

What I do is to run an ssh server via cygwin, then I use putty (from work) to ssh to my pc via the work proxy and do port forwarding via the ssh tunnel. Then I use ccproxy to proxy the web requests out to the internet.

There's a couple of things going on here.
1. Get an ssh server running at home. I used cygwin running on my GBPVR box, but you could use a variety of ssh server software.
2. Connect to the server with an ssh client that supports port forwarding via a proxy server. Personally I like putty - it's not too hard to configure the port forwarding and it's free
3. Install ccproxy on the same box as the ssh server. It's free for up to (i believe) 3 concurrent licenses for personal use.
4. Configure your web browser to use the ssh tunnel and connect to the proxy server at home. The beauty of this is that the ssh tunnel is encrypted, so the fogeys at work can't read your traffic.
5. Happy surfing!


I left a lot of details out, since my implementation may differ from others because of different software, etc. I'm also configured to do Remote Desktop, uTorr WebUi, and GBPVR EWA over the ssh tunnel.

If you are interested in trying it the way I did it, I can give you my exact setup. BTW, it took me about 1 week to figure it all out (you know, in my spare time), but it really should only take about 1/2 hour to configure once all of the software is installed The real pain point for me was the port forwarding, but once I got it figured out, it's not so bad.
