delegate9.4.2 (PROXY)

Tested on 2 Feb 2007 on openSUSE10.2

DeleGate is a multipurpose proxy server which relays various application protocols on TCP/IP or UDP/IP, including HTTP, FTP, Telnet, NNTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, LPR, LDAP, ICP, DNS, SSL, Socks, and more. DeleGate mediates communication between servers and clients where direct communication is impossible, inefficient, or inconvenient.

Add Permittion, change the runlevel of delegate, create a cache directory, and start

# chmod 755 delegate
# chkconfig delegate on
# mkdir /var/cache/delegate
# chown nobody:nobody /var/cache/delegate/
# /etc/init.d/delegate start

Create a custom error page as, /etc/delegate/err.html

<html>
<body>
<h1>ISP might be down at the moment.</h1>
</body>
</html>
</pre>

Create /etc/logrotate.d/delegate for log rotation.

/var/log/delegate/* {
    daily
    compress
    dateext
    notifempty
    rotate 60
    missingok
    create
    olddir /var/log/delegate-old/
    postrotate
     /etc/init.d/delegate restart
    endscript
}

Create an old log directory

# mkdir /var/log/delegate-old

Now, point the proxy server from your browser, and use it!
