Here are tutorials how to setup VPS to act as a proxy server.
1
make a ssh tunnel to your vps and put that in your firefox
- Code: Select all
# ssh username@server -D 12345
and put localhost:12345 in your local firefox as socks5 server.
2 (vps can be used to run Firefox on it)
running minimal Debian 6, tightvncserver, LXDE and Iceweasel 3.5 (Debian's FireFox equivalent) using less than 70mb of my 128mb Hostigation KVM server.
3 (LongShots tutorial)
Here's a page from my cookbook:
Make sure Debian is the latest and greatest
- Code: Select all
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
Install X, desktop, VNC programs
- Code: Select all
apt-get install xorg lxde-core tightvncserver
Stop VNC
- Code: Select all
tightvncserver -kill :1
Edit startup file
- Code: Select all
nano ~/.vnc/xstartup
Change to
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid black
lxterminal &
/usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE &
Restart VNC
- Code: Select all
tightvncserver :1
I use the "VNC Free Edition Viewer for Windows Stand-Alone Viewer" from the downloads page at: http://www.realvnc.com
Configure the viewer to access your VPS at: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5901
Enjoy!
4 (Kristals way)
as i said before:
apt-get install dropbear tightvncserver xvt jwm
thats all u need, and its automatic no need to edit xresources or any other crap.
vnc + desktop = total @ 10mb RAM/ with iceweasel its less than 20mb RAM >>>>
reinstall debian 5 os, make sure its 32bit, then:
- Code: Select all
apt-get install dropbear tightvncserver xvt jwm
- Code: Select all
pico /etc/default/dropbear
/// change NO_START=0
- Code: Select all
mv /etc/rc2.d/S16ssh /etc/rc2.d/K16ssh
/etc/init.d/ssh stop
/etc/init.d/dropbear start
apt-get --purge remove syslog-ng avahi-daemon cups dbus cron anacron rsyslog
reboot
Here u go, all bare naked debian with working vnc desktop windows manager and terminal

My Setup (128MB VPS) :
Debian Lenny + dropbear + iceweasel + tightvncserver + Blackbox
Ram usage when running iceweasel (no flash site- 1 or 2 tabs) : around 25~30MB
sometimes i use openbox instead of blackbox (both are very similar).
