How to use proxy behind a proxy

internet connectionprivacyPROXY

I am working in my company, and the company has a gateway proxy. We must pass through this gateway in order to connect to Internet.

In such case, how can I use a proxy server to connect to Internet?

Best Answer

NO. It's not possible to connect using any other proxy, assuming that other than the proxy server gateway none of the other servers in your network has Internet access (This is usually the case in offices and schools)

If you are interested in web-proxies, of course there are several options as listed below(You can google to find out others). Even when you are using a web-proxy all the data is still coming through the proxy server of your network. So privacy should still be a concern.

How to use SVN through a proxy

If you are using Linux, you can put this in ~/.subversion/servers and it should work:

[global]
http-proxy-exceptions = *.myowndomain.com
http-proxy-host = proxyaddr.mydomain.com
http-proxy-port = 3128
http-proxy-username = userme
http-proxy-password = passyou
http-compression = no

On Windows, if you are using TortoiseSVN, the equivalent file is %APPDATA%\Subversion\servers.

Linux – How to Ping When Behind a Proxy

In general you can't. ping needs a direct network connection on the IP level to do its work. A proxy works on a higher layer of the TCP/IP network model, where there is no direct access to the IP protocol.

You would need to somehow circumvent the proxy (change firewall settings, use a VPN, ...). Whether this is possible (and allowed) depends on your network configuration, but it's probably not possible.

As a workaround, there are many web-based ping services available (search for "web-based ping"). These will work.
