Tinyproxy is a lightweight HTTP proxy daemon designed to be fast and secure. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Tinyproxy on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Before installing Tinyproxy, it's essential to update the system to the latest version. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo zypper update
To install Tinyproxy, enter the following command in the terminal:
sudo zypper install tinyproxy
Once Tinyproxy is installed, you need to configure it to work correctly. The configuration file is located at "/etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf." You can edit the file using your favorite text editor.
sudo nano /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf
In the configuration file, you can set the port number, access control, and other settings. Once you're done with the configuration, save the file and exit.
To start Tinyproxy, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start tinyproxy
You can check if Tinyproxy is running by running the following command:
systemctl status tinyproxy
If everything is fine, you should see "active (running)" as the status.
Now that Tinyproxy is up and running, you can use it by configuring your web browser or application to use the proxy server.
To use Tinyproxy, enter the server's IP address and port number in your browser's proxy settings.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Tinyproxy on OpenSUSE Latest. Remember to keep the configuration file secure and update the system regularly.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
