    @patrick

    can u plz do that?

    If you sign up with a VPS with us we can install PPTP/Squid/HTTP Proxy for you, just submit a ticket and mention this thread and someone will get you sorted

  • Why don't we just help him set up OpenVPN? Would be a lot easier than all this SSH Tunneling and Squid and stuff.

    Squid is the devils work, abuse magnet, that is unless you block all IP's but your own.

    Squid is easy (basic yum and change port, access list) or few seconds more with authentication. PPTP takes about a minute.

    Whilst OpenVPN is more flexible, all the OP wants to do is browse US sites and doesn't need all this setting up with keys and crts
  • got it working, just had to change the root pw from solus cPanel

    ok now:

    connected my vps with putty, and using firefox with vps ip on my pc

    so, is it safe now? surfing on my pc with vps ip using putty?

    Your 1650 miles away (approx) from the download server, use a location closer to your VPS. Either way, browsing should be fine.
  • @Ishaq

    AzzaVPS, got their offer from here (LET)

    @Pepper

    u mean, instead of using putty, i shld install web interface and client application, and use my vps for surfing?

    @Patrick

    i didn't get u buddy, what shld i use which is closer to vps? :-?
  • @TheLuckyBoy, where is your VPS located? You are in Kuwait. For the best browsing and streaming experience get a VPS that is near to you like INIZ as they are in NL.
  • upfreakupfreak Member
    @serverian he wants a US IP

    yes i am in Kuwait, and i think VPS is located in Canada...

    i am a newbie when it comes to VPS...

    Just wanted to get a VPS with Canadian / US IP, so i bought this VPS, but i think this will work for web surfing, atleast its lag free and i am using it on my own PC

    It's just a file to test your download speed.
  • Your connection speed will mostly depend on your geographical proximity to your VPS provider. Is a matter of latency and jitter. No matter how fast your provider is, if you are far away from the VPS it will most likely give you a bad experience. A 1Gbps provider uplink is never going to be a bottleneck for your purposes.
  • upfreakupfreak Member
    speedtest from cachefly -> azzavps is 3.03MB/s ( 20mbit unmetered )

    I use http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier when i dont want to configure the server for VPN access but do not want to configure putty everytime.

    1. Install the bitvise software and then input the hostname, ssh port number, username and password in the Login Section.
    2. Go to services tab and enable local SOCKS proxy.
    3. In your browser / application which needs to be routed configure proxy as set in bitvise. ( hostname : 127.0.0.1 ; port 1080 ; SOCKS 5)
    4. You will enjoy your native internet as well as proxied connection for applications that require them

    I have tested this to work with a 128MB azzavps i have for testing.
  • Thanks peppr

    i want to make sure, is it safe for surfing? cuz i have used proxies few times on my pc, by they found out and banned my account

    by using bitvise or putty, if i go on those sites, will it be safe for my accounts?

    Contact your hosting provider for assistance.
  • upfreakupfreak Member
    @TheLuckyBoy The Putty/bitvise methods are your local SOCKS proxy in your computer for your applications and you are still connecting to the server via SSH. This is very much safe afaik.

    If you went with VPScheap.net then the server is in the US and you should have a US IP not Canadian.. you can type in google" what's my IP" and it should show the IP of your VPS when your connected with putty.

    Unfortunatley the max speed of the VPS is also dependent on your residential internet plan.. considering that minimal residential DSL is 3-6 mbps down/ 512-800k up the VPS you have should be more than enough, it's on a 10mbit port I had that exact same plan for over a year and I used it to watch hulu etc.. never any lag and my residential DSL is only 3-5mbps/800k..

    if you want to test the speed of your VPS you can copy and paste this in putty..

    wget http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test -O /dev/null

    your download should max out at around 1,25 MB/s

    While 10mbit may not be blazing fast for a VPS at least you don't have to worry about going over your bandwidth, like say you forget to turn off internet radio etc.. and I think it's probably faster than your residential DSL so getting anything more than that will be useless for your purpose.

    Just to add if you use firefox / opera the proxy should work independent of other browsers but chrome and safari will depend on your internet IE settings so if you set up proxy under IE then chrome and safari will have the same setting as IE. Technically you can use firefox for browsing with the IP of your VPS and IE,chrome, safari to browse with your ISP's IP (your kuwait IP)

    Or you can use a plugin like Proxy Switchy! in Chrome that can be used to easily change your IE's proxy settings.

  • you login to your vps and watch video/surfing?
    why not get a VPN?
