Starting proxy server external ip ?

bmironb

Hi,

What are packages that i have to install to start a proxy server running on pfsense 2.0.1 based on pc platform ?
I want to use external ip or a dynamic dns as proxy server in internet explorer on port 21 where i want to bypass local firewall !
I don't want this proxy server on lan interface i want to work for 'outside/external'.
Is this possible ? if someone know please help with some indications and settings for proxy server to run as i mentioned above with external ip.

Thanks !

Just install any proxy server (HAVP,squid) on pfsense and configure it to listen on port 21.

To restrict it to your ip, create a firewall rule to allow only your ip.

Depending on how your current firewall filter port 21, you will get a ftp proxy.

firewall rule from wan is to allow (pass) everything
''create a firewall rule to allow only your ip'' what do you mean by this ? my exterior ip

If you do not want to be blacklisted as a open proxy, you need to close your firewall rules to allow only you to connect to it.

Include your ip on squid access list.

Yes.

Enter each unrestricted IP address on a new line that is not to be filtered out by the other access control directives set in this page.
