Do you have SSH access to an off-campus server? If so... 1) Use PuTTY to create a local SOCKS proxy w/ an SSH tunnel to the off-campus server. 2) Configure your browser to use the SOCKS proxy Wa-lah [sic], your requests will appear to be coming from off-campus. A good guide to setting up the ssh tunnel is here: http://everythinghurts.com/ssh-tunnelling/. The excellent FoxyProxy extension makes switching proxy settings much easier: http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/ --jay On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 11:41 AM, Chris Gray <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > There are a number of services we offer that behave differently for > off-campus users vs. on-campus users (based on IP address) and testing both > behaviors is difficult while sitting on-campus. > > I'm looking for an easy, reliable, and secure way to do this. > > At the moment I'm doing a free 7-day trial of Anonymizer Anonymous Surfing > software ($30/yr), but I want to make sure I'm not missing any good > alternatives. > > Does anyone have any recomnendations or relevant experience? > > Chris Gray > Library Systems > University of Waterloo > (hopeful future ex sysadmin firefighter %-) >
