I would like to ask a general question -- is there a way to enable a proxy server on a macintosh under fink? In short, I have a VPN connection to my laboratory that is secure, I would like to be able to read some library journals from home without having to go into work, however the IP I get from the VPN server doesn't work for the journal I am interested in. I know I can manually start a tunnel using openssh from my home machine (via a Cisco VPN) that tunnels through my work mac and onto the specific site. This does work, but I have to manually set up the tunnel for every site (a pain). Is there some open source (hopefully fink) software that I can set up to allow me to use my work mac as a proxy (hopefully with password authorization)? Any suggestions would be welcome as the current situation is rather cumbersome.
I know squid is in fink, and not too hard to setup, but I never used users/passes
