Hi, would that mean that I would have to create a tunnel for each

Sounds like a lot of work, if I understand you correctly.
I know privoxy supports socks forwarding, but it does not do
caching. I'm looking for something that will be able to do both.
Hi,
I don't know on which platform you are running Varnish, but I've just
tested the following on FreeBSD:
- Install varnish
- Install tsocks (/usr/ports/net/tsocks)
- Configure tsocks to use socks proxy for connections to back-end subnet
- Start ssh tunnel like you describe in your original mailing
- Start varnish like this (example):
tsocks varnishd -a listen-host:port -b backend:port -s file,/tmp/
varnishcache,$((1024*1024*10))
This works nicely. You might want to add -c blowfish to your sshd
commandline, to minimize CPU overhead in encryption. Whether -C
(compresson) makes sense or not depends on the back-end config, data
types, volume and CPU cycles available.
Have fun!

Thanks!

Just create your SSH Tunnel with port forwarding (no need for Socks)
and point varnish to localhost:port as a source.
ssh -L 8080:www.example.com:80 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But you will pass all traffic through the encryption of the SSH
Tunnel, which will produce quite some CPU Load on both the Systems.
