How do I direct all internet traffic I on my firefox portable browser I use at school, through to my computer at home, so I can use my modem as a proxy?

My school has a web filter that prevents me from accessing any website I want to at school, and I want to get past it.
I know, from experience, that I can use a program called Ultrasurf to get around this, though it requires me to use IE, and is inconvenient.
I want to know if it's possible to configure the proxy settings on Firefox (and some on my modem/router, and/or computer at home), in order to direct all my traffic through my router at home, similarly to how one would use a proxy.
If so, how is this possible?
(I'm relatively experienced with computers, but have very little programming, and other complex knowledge of the workings of these things)
At home, my computer is running 64 bit Windows 7, has 4 GB of RAM, a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and can be turned on and online 24/7, such that if necessary, it can direct traffic sent to it.
My router/modem at home is (I believe) a Westell 327W, I can get more information by looking at it later if necessary.
At school, as of last year (and probably the same this year), the computers run Windows XP, and I am able to run programs installed on a flash drive on them, though cannot actually install programs on the computers themselves.
I'll be using whatever the latest (not beta) version of Firefox Portable exists when I return to school in a week.

How do I get the internet traffic to come to my own server?

If I'm moving from paying a host for coldfusion to using my own license on my own server, How do I get the internet traffic to come to my own server?

You connect the computer to a network. This is pretty much automatically handled by the hardware and the operating system.
You may want to read up on some of the basics of networking and the tcp/ip world.
To have a networked computer tell you its IP address type 'ipconfig' at a dos command line.

How to create a Access list on core switch to bloxk all Internet Traffic & allow some specific Internet Traffic

Hellp Everyone,
I am trying to create a Access-List on my Core Switch, in which I want to allow few internet website & block the rest of them.
I want to allow the whole Intranet but few intranet websites also needs access to the internet.
Can we create such Access-List with the above requirement.
I tried to create the ACL on the switch but it blocks the whole internet access.
i want to do it for a subnet not for a specific IP.
Can someone help me in creating such access list.
Thanks in Advance

The exact syntax depends on your subnets and how they connect to the Internet. If you can share a simple diagram that would be much more informative.
In general just remember that access-lists are parsed from the top down and as soon as a match is found, the processing stops. So you put the most specific rules at the top. also, once you add an access-list, there is an implicit "deny any any" at the end.
The best approach is to create some network object-groups and then refer to them in your access list. From your description, that would be something like three object-groups - one for the Intranet (Intranet), one for the allowed servers that can use Internet (allowed_servers), and a third for the permitted Internet sites (allowed_sites).
You would then use them as follows:
ip access-list extended main_acl
permit any object-group intranet any
permit object-group allowed_servers object-group allowed_sites any
interface vlan
ip access-group main_acl in

I want to load Firefox on my computer at home, which is not connected to the internet. I want to download Firefox to my flashdrive and then add it to my computer at home. When I try to download Firefox, it won't let me change the path of where it download

I want to download Firefox on a flashdrive so I can then download it to my home computer which is not connected to the internet. When I download Firefox, it won't let me change the path and so tries to download on a public computer, which isn't allowed. The reason I want it on my home computer is because I'm creating web pages and I want to view my html pages using a variety of browsers, including Firefox.

From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

How do I transfew all of my music from my iPod to my iTunes? I had to wipe my computer because my hard drive crashed and it will only let me sync my iTunes to iPod.

My hard drive crashed and I had to wipe my computer. When I plug my iPod into my computer, it asks if I want to sync my (empty) iTunes account to my (full) iPod, but doesn't give me the option to put my iPod music onto my empty iTunes account. All I want to do is put my iPod's music back into my iTunes account, but can't figure out how to do it. I had some music backed up, but when I put it into iTunes, it won't play the songs (has an ! next to it) even though I purchased the songs from iTunes. I've tried authorizing my account, but nothing brings my old account back. Any help would be appreciated.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just this reason.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

How do I stop ALL tabs from going dim when Firefox is not the active WINDOW?

I think I have read every single post about changing active tab colors, etc, etc. However, where I am frustrated seems to be a little different.
When Firefox 31 is not the active WINDOW the whole tab bar goes grey (just like the title bar) and the only tab I can read the title of is the active tab. I need to be able to see ALL tab names.
I don't want to use any add-ons. I just want a simple userChrome.css or about:config option. I have other UI complaints, but this is the only one I care enough about to do anything about. It is making me less efficient, confused, and frustrated.
Can anyone please help?

That's good to hear. Good work. Please go to your last post and

Why did I lose all internet connectivity with new Mozilla Firefox update?

I recently updated mozilla firefox on my other computer, an ibm thinkpad (windows xp) and since installing, there is no longer any ability to connect to the internet, even with internet explorer. I even tried to do a system restore and this did not work. What can i do to fix this?

When you can not connect after an update, it is usually caused by a firewall blocking the new version of Firefox. Try removing Firefox from the rules list of your Firewall which will force the firewall to create a new rule for Firefox. Also see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

How to start a loop back proxy in Windows Phone 8 and have all app and internet traffic routed via it

I want to develop a proxy in windows phone 8 that will handle all data traffic emanating from phone(i.e. browser and Apps). The following procedures were carried out
a) Edited the Wifi settings http proxy and port to the loop back proxy running in the phone(i.e. 127.0.0.1) and the port in which we brought up the loop back proxy
b) We browsed pages and no request landed on the loop back proxy in the phone
Loop back proxy in phone is built using StreamSocketListener
Another observation is that:
If we edit Wifi settings http proxy and port to a http/https proxy running on server then when we browse pages from windows phone we are getting the requests to server. Why is this difference?
Is there a limitation to run http/https proxy on mobile phone as loop back proxy.
But there are apps in the market for windows phone that behaves as HTTP proxy like
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/smartproxy/75da629b-c0f3-4999-86a3-9559181d1299
Any help on the same would be appreciated

Hi,
Thanks for your reply and we have used StreamSocketListener waiting on a port and ip is given as loopback.The same settings are done for Wifi access point but when we browse any page in IE the requests are not landing on to the loop back proxy.Any idea on
the same would be highly appreciated

How to redirect Internet traffic from RV082 to RV042 through a VPN Tunnel??

Fellows,
We have offices in USA and Venezuela.
In our USA office we have a RV042 router and in Venezuela we have a RV082 router.
We have connected a VPN tunnel (gateway-to-gateway) between both offices.
The point is:
How   could we redirect the internet traffic from our Venezuela office   (RV082) to the USA Office (RV042) to navigate using USA public IP's?
The   reason for this is that we need to use online streaming services which   are only available for IP's from USA and we can't use them from the   Venezuelan IP's.
We can not use the PPTP option since the equipment which will use the streaming services (like hulu, crackle, etc.) in Venezuela is a Google TV device which doesn't allow the configuration of proxy navegation or PPTP VPN connections itself. That's the reason why we need to do that through the routers.
We will really appreciate your support on this matter.
Daniel

Hi Daniel, this is called ESP wildcard forwarding which the router does support.

Understanding 5505 firewall-site to site and internet traffic

Hi,
My question is mutli-faceted. I apologize for the lengthy intro here but i think the info is necessary to understand where I am headed in this.
I am new to the cisco 5505. I have had very limited exposure to a 5510 that was preset. I have managed to make modifications to it here and there, but dont completely understand how it was put together. I learn by watching, listening, and gleaning what I can from others. I have had no formal training in CLI, but I have learned some of the commands. I know enough to be dangerous, but I respect my limitations.
That being said, I have been charged with setting up a 5505 at a remote site. I need to accomplish several things. Our ultimate goal is to use this device as a site to site with the 5510 at the corporate office. However, I need to accomplish this in baby steps, test, test real users and then maybe convert in full. Where I could outsource this in its entirety, that would preclude me from learning so I can address this in the future on my own.
We need to have this in place by the end of February 2013.
Currently the remote site is connected via a very slow (by todays standards) T1 line on a MPLS. Stable. Works, but slow. All internet traffic as well as work traffic is routed through that connection. We have added a 50mb cable connection (with static ips) to the office. First we want to set up the 5505 so that it can be used as follows:
1, Internet traffic can be routed out through this device and all other "work" traffic routed through the MPLS.
2, Test using this connection as a route out to the internet AND use it as a site to site VPN connection to the home office. (or anyconnect vpn)
          I need to be able to have users in both environments. IE, some still using step 1 and some starting to use and test step 2.
3, long term, use this as the main connection per number 2, but add the IP address so that if the cable connection drops, the office can access internet via the VoIP T1 line as a life line.
In all cases, I dont want internet going through the home office as it currently is traveling.
I have done a lot of searching but so far have come up empty with answers.
Question 1:     (This one probalby shows my ignorance the worst) - in using the 5505 firewall, will it segregate normal internet traffic from the VPN traffic when used by the workstation? Using the Gui, I didnt see where this was necessarily happening. Do I need to use CLI language (and what) to make this happen? Or is that a basic function that happens during the setup of the firewall using the GUI. Do I need to do some sort of "split tunneling"?
Question 2:     Do I use this device as the Default gateway for both step 1 and 2/3) for normal use and then change the gateway on the Pcs to the VoIP network during emergency use,(that would bypass the firewall though or is there a way to have it route to that router if there is no connection through the Outside port? Or as long as I have some access to the device, can I make a change remotely to help accomplish this failsafe?
Question 3:     We have 25 Anyconnect VPN licenses. Should we use these and not the Static site to site, if so, why or why not? They dont need to be used at all.
Question 4:     In setting up the VoIP line for backup, would using that on the "DMZ" connection help in making this viable so that the device could still ultimately control the internet traffic?
Question 5:     In setting up the VPN connections, unless i am getting the two methods confused, I will need the 5505 to hand out IP addresses for the vpn connection. I see in using a class c schema that i can use 92.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0. So for instance, I could use 101.1.20.0 for the inside network Vpn addresses?? I need to stay away from 192.168.0.0 networks as we use that in our normal structure.
Reasons for setting this up:
Slow speeds over the T1.
increasing demand for Skype, Video conferencing etc that the T1 pipe couldnt adequately handle
Lack of backup pathways for downed connections - ie, backhoe chopping through wire at a construction site).
I read through the Getting started guides on both the 5510 and the 5505 and feel I can likely get the site to site setup (I have a list of all the Ip addresses i need for inside networks and outside networks etc.
additional notes:
I have to email ATT anytime I want a change made on the MPLS router, so doing as little to that as possible would be good.
I will be onsite for testing at the end of February and will have direct access to the home office via other methods to work on the asa5510 if any additional work needs to be done on it once i am onsite.
Thanks for taking the time to read through all of this. please forgive my lack of knowledge...
Dave

Thanks for getting back to me and so quickly!
1) I am not sure if I understand the “ACL” portion of your question, but this is how I want to access info via the VPN tunnel:
192.168.D.0 inside(NJ) to outside 5505 - 12.175.X.X to outside 5510 - 12.200.X.X to inside network (HQ)192.168.X.0. Routes are needed to find subnets 192.168.A.0, 192.168.B.0 and 192.168.C.0. The default gateway to those subnets right now is: 192.168.X.XX4 inside of HQ. This would be so that the NJ office could find resources of the other offices if needed. This will change as we wean off the MPLS. Inside the ASA 5505, the IP addresses are 192.168.D.0 for data, 10.X.X.0 for the Phone system. All other traffic would be sent out through the internet. Phone system uses the XOcomm conection to route phone traffic.
2) I did some reading on SLA. Thanks for pointing that out. For purposes of learning here, I am showing this as 12.175.XXX.XXX for Comcast and 12.200.XXX.XXX for XO comm.
4) I guess I would use an Outside 2 as that makes sense, in description, I would label them “ComCast” for outside 1 and “XOcomm” for outside 2.
5) I am still not sure I understand this part. Are additional IP addresses needed for the Site to site VPN to talk to the local hosts, or will it use the IP addresses assigned by the local server?
Next Steps
1-         Configure the ASA5510 for the 5505 connection
2-         Configure the ASA5505 for the 5510 connection
3-         Configure SLA for Comcast and XOcomm outside connections
4-         For this I need help….I think this is from step 1, but I need help to configure the internet to be segregated via my question from #1. Have I given enough information to do so? Please advise on ACL entries, and route statements needed so that NJ can talk to all the offices when using this connection, not just the Headquarters.
Thanks
dave

VPN 3005 - Reroute Internet traffic out local connection

We have a VPN 3005 concentrator that connects to our backbone switch. We have about 6 sites who have the following subnet:
site A: 172.16.x.x
site B: 172.17.x.x (etc)
When a user is at home, hotel, or directly connected to the Internet and they connect with the VPN client to our network we want all Internet traffic (cnn, google, etc) to route through their local connection and not through our network through our internal Internet connection. How can I setup the VPN Concentrator to allow all internal traffic and reroute all other traffic out their local Internet connection?

split tunneling needs to be configured on the concentrator.
firstly, create a network list.
go configuration>policy management>traffic management>network lists. then put the private lan ip behind concentrator on to the list.
go configuration>user management>groups>client config
you will see "split tunneling policy" and "split tunneling network list"
with option "split tunneling policy", choose "only tunnel networks on the list". with option "split tunneling network list", choose the network list you just created.

How do I direct all internet traffic I on my firefox portable browser I use at school, through to my computer at home, so I can use my modem as a proxy?
