    Being on holiday travel and for time being in Iran, I try to read my
    favorite newspapers from home but they are blocked by a national firewall.

    I have access to my rh 8 server running at home with squid installed, I
    logged on and started squid. Configured Opera's lan settings for proxy on
    XP to go to my servers ip adress listenng on default port 3128. No
    contact on this port, but if I set port 80 the traffic is routed by my
    server but still sites are blocked. reading squids access.log does not
    show any traffic from the computer where I am sitting. I have configured
    the squid.conf to be as open as I can get it, no access restrictions for
    the time being.

    I have never used squid for this purpose before, but I got a tips that it
    could work. The connection to internet I got here is by 28 kbps modem
    dialling service.

    Is there any chance I can make this work? Students on university here are
    also keen to know if they can have access to blocked sites in this way,
    accessing proxy servers outside the country.
