Why do we use secure tunnel + proxy.server ? When your http connection request is filtered or rejected by telcom router, or they block your access to some http server. Using Magic Router for secure tunnel + proxy server
will bypass internet router content detection.
The following example is true in Indian, Asia. When you access facebook, it is rejected.
1. Assume you are (called A) in Asia, and not allow to access some servers in USA.
2. You have a server (called B) that can connect outside Asia, and this server is allowed to connect to USA.
3. By setting up secure tunnel + proxy, you can access USA from A side. Of course, you can VNC from A to B, then start browser in B to access USA server, but it is very very slow.
Steps to setup secure tunnel + proxy server:
1. change your internet browser setting. Find setting for proxy. Manual input http proxy ip = 127.0.0.1, port = 4480
2. Setup a Magic Router in A. Listen port = 4480, to port = 80, to host = ip of B server. Since 80 can bypass most firewall, you can change to other if 80 is not available.
3. Select protocol = TCP.
4. Go to coding page in Magic Router, select router mode = client, encryption = Shift Byes. If connection is still rejected, try another encryption.
5. No firewall or quota needed, since only you access.
6. Click start(0) button to start listening on A side.
7. Setup a Magic Router in B. Listen port = 80, to port = 3888, to host = 127.0.0.1 (if http proxy server is installed on the same pc). Since 80 can bypass most firewall, you can change to other if 80 is not available.
8. Select protocol = TCP.
9. Go to coding page in Magic Router, select router mode = server, encryption = Shift Byes. If connection is still rejected, try another encryption.
10. You can setup firewall or quota if necessary. Since this server B is opened for public.
11. Click start(0) button to start listening on B side.
12. You can start access facebook now... good luck !
Make use of existing VPN connection:
A little bit change is needed to enjoy faster connection. If there is a VPN connection between site B and C (static routing is added, so as to talk between B and C), simply change the "to host ip" of Magic Router in B to site C server ip is OK.
