Prerequisite:
- I already have an amazon ec2 instance (ubuntu) running in the cloud
What I do:
- I choose to install tinyproxy
- command: sudo apt-get install tinyproxy
- Setup the IP you allowed for using the proxy
- sudo vim /etc/tinyproxy.conf
- unfortunately, tinyproxy does not support user authentication with username and password
- Restart tinyproxy
- sudo /etc/init.d/tinyproxy restart
- Then you can setup your chrome to use the web proxy
- it requires the IP address of your amazon ec2 instance and port (tinyproxy default port 8888) in setting up the web proxy
Comments:
- With this proxy, you will be able to have free internet even if you are in a country with Internet censorship
