We all volunteer our time here...don't tell us to hurry, because YOU need something.

And no matter what kind of proxy server you put in place, it's not going to bypass anything further upstream, unless you have a network route AROUND it...in which case, you wouldn't need the proxy server. Feel free to set up Squid on whatever linux system you have, but if your network admins have blocking systems in place, a proxy server won't get you around it.

Ok...so install the missing dependency..the error message is fairly clear. And you say you "fund" it on the net, and it gets through...if you're already OUT to the internet, you're out...what's the point of a proxy server on your internal network? That's just one more step to go through.

Those people are called "Consultants", and they get PAID to do work for people. Why do you think someone is going to work for you for free, because you don't want to figure it out yourself?

And as I've said a few times, your own proxy server ISN'T going to get you past whatever blocking solutions your network admins have put in place. If you are getting to the Internet already, you're out....from there, you're probably getting another site, which lets you open pages from there...which is why its slow.

You can use putty to make socks 5 connection. Then the user can browse using your computer.
