- polipo for Debian
- -----------------
-
- Polipo is available from http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/.
-
- There was a webpage devoted to this Debian package which you can find at
- http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~teh30/debian/polipo/. But due new maintainer,
- new versions not available there. Look up the Debian repository for it.
-
-
- How to use polipo for Debian
- ----------------------------
-
- Configure your browser to use a proxy on host 'localhost', port '8123'.
-
-
- Online documentation
- --------------------
-
- Once polipo is running, online documentation is available at
- http://127.0.0.1:8123/doc/. Alternatively you can find the same information
- on the Polipo website: http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/manual/
-
-
- Allowing other computers to access polipo
- -----------------------------------------
-
- By default polipo will only accept local connections. If you want other
- computers on your network to be able to use this machine as a web cache,
- then uncomment the 'proxyAddress' line in /etc/polipo/config. For
- security's sake you should enable the 'allowedClients' variable and add the
- address of your network, e.g. 'allowedClients = 127.0.0.1, 194.168.42.0/24'.
- You might also want to set 'disableLocalInterface=true', otherwise all the
- proxy's users can see what pages the others have been accessing.
-
-
- Using polipo with a modem or a mobile connection
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Polipo will go on- and offline automatically whenever PPP (modem) or
- other network connections are established or brought down. You can
- specify on which type of connection this behaviour will occur by editing
- the file /etc/polipo/options and setting the method option to the
- appropriate value, i.e. `method ppp'. For IPv4 the following methods
- allowed: any for any method (default), static, manual, dhcp, bootp, ppp,
- wvdial. The loopback method is not applicable. You can find a list of
- these methods in the interfaces(5) manpage. Note: you can add multiple
- `method' lines in the options file.
