Re: encrypt connection pc to proxy server
Hi guys, you could set up an encrypted VPN between yourself and it, or actually, i 1st thought only about http(s) browsing. that case it will be easy to set up a tunnel with OpenSSH, which encrypts this is really safe, but too cumbersome and slow. Also I dont know any commercial proxy servers offering SSH access. For more detailed info you need to give more info on your setup and about I just use daily an ISP from work (fixed IP) and dont want them to know where i surf. Im not doing ilegal stuff, just internal circumstances here. Thus, it has to be a solution for 8hs/day straightforward use, best not too slow and not too expensive, but a fair price I'd pay. These are the requirements. So which are the possible options for me in this case? Thx ... PS: by secure i meant not readable browsing history from my ISP. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

encrypt connection pc to proxy server

Re: apt-get cannot conect to server: system problem
this is for the gurus . i connected to a different ISP and everything works again. Sth for the gurus to explain and eventally correct. Why apt-get, firefox n epiphany couldnt resolve names if the system could (and konqueror too) and with the new ISP they can? Obviouly apt-get, firefox n epiphany use a resolving method thats different from nslookup and konqueror. And the former did not work at the previous isp. Both ISP where home dhcp providers, but in different countries. The ISP were firefox n epiphany resolve names is the one through which i installed the system.

First i tried network-manager. All fields there, just typed it as worked for previous windows and ... no success. Many posts in internet report problems of network-manager anyway. Some ubuntu people said they solved their problems using gtkwifi, nm-applet, and wicd, but i didnt find them for debian (??? aren't they the same???). I also tried iwconfig but got an Error : unrecognised wireless request thenet.com OBS: the name was correct. Than i installed wifi-radar. It makes it easy to set the connection, but there is no way to set the interface name. So wifi-radar keeps on trying to connect a certain eth2 interface, that does not exist!

In the wifi-radar GUI, select Preferences and turn off Auto-detect wireless device. I don't know if that will work, because it should be auto-detecting your device! Hi Patrick, sorry, but i do not have this option (Preferences) in my wifi-radar. Also not an option to turn off Auto-detect. ??? It is a Linux version 2.6.18-6-686 (Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-17etch1). I installed wifi-radar today, so must be a new version. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
