how to connect using proxy

kkpal · 08-25-2008, 07:27 AM

hi all

I have fedora machine as a proxy server (squid) for other Linux system to connect to internet.
I want connect to remote systems using the remote desktop. Before launching rdesktop I am launching tunnelclient. Its working fine if I am not using proxy, I am using direct connection. I want to know where I set settings for proxy.
Is there any need to change my default gateway address to my proxy ip?

with regards

This question, as written, doesn't make sense to me. If you are using squid for proxying, then you just have to set your browser (which browser(s)?) to use the correct IP and port (3128 usually), and away you go.

However that wouldn't be a programming question and it wouldn't have anything at all to do with rdesktop or tunnelclient, so maybe you mean something completely different.

Not really a programming question. Moving to Linux - General.

I am not asking for browser I am asking about rdesktop and TunnelClient. If I want to use proxy then where I use proxy settings? It may be in TunnelClient code or somewhere else.
