VPN Nginx home setup
July 09, 2015 04:33PM
Hi,

I need some help setting up following configuration. I went through tones of information on google but couldn't find specific one.

I want to run Nginx proxy at home. Nginx will be handling all browsing requests. Also I want to connect to Nginx proxy from coffee shop via VPN tunnel (which clients setups would you recommend) so Nginx will handle my requests again.

Is it possible?
How slow would be the connection from coffee shop? Maybe to use cache proxy?

Thank You

Wrong tool for the job, use ssh(d) and then tunnel your browser through it to a local session with squid.

Hello,

achnaide, if I understand well, you want to use nginx as a forward proxy? If that's right, then no, nginx is a popular reverse proxy, but not a forward proxy.
As said itpp2012, you really should use Squid.

Best Regards
