Every once and a while, I need to test a site from an IP address outside of my network. For this task, I use a free onlinhe web proxy.

Here are some examples (none of them fit the entire bill though):

Thing is, they all seem to suck. My definition of a good web free online web proxy is:

It changes weekly. New ones pop up and subside like so much zero-point energy.

This is a God-awfully old post. The world has changed and I’m now in the latter half of a tech career. So… I’ve been helped with this already. Thanks :slight_smile:

man ssh

It works, bitches.

EDIT: To clarify, you would probably set up a local (i.e. not open to the Internet) proxy on the remote box and then use e.g. ssh -L to map the local port of the remote box to a local port on your own machine. That way you can access the proxy as if it were running locally on your own box (yes, this sounded teribly confusing).
