YES Network SCAM!

I woke up yesterday morning - started crusing through the sports channels .... MUCH MUCH MUCH to my surprise I find the YES network.
OMG - Is someone screwing with me ? Or could this really be ? YES YES YES (literally) - its here. I am watching the Joe Girardi show, how awesome is this ? (this is starting off to be a great day!)
All day, I am so psyched, telling all my co-workers how they really have to switch over from COM-CRAP to fios, they have the YES Network now....., the internet is faster and more reliable, the service is cheaper and much better technology in general, why wouldnt you switch over.
I get home, all set to watch the Yanks vs the A's.... - what what what the hell ? I cant find the game ... Whats going on ? (ok maybe its on ESPN or Nationally Broadcast... NO)
What the hell ? Frantically searching the internet/google FIOS and YES and yup - I found what I was dreading - a F'ing press release from YES talking about nationally broadcasting YES to FIOS Customers - EXCEPT FOR THE GAMES!
The day turned out to be one of the worst... I know some of you out there like the additional programming that comes on the YES network, but for me, I feel like someone just took the jelly out of my donut.
Sorry all - I cant afford the $200 bucks for MLB EI, and plus most of the games are in Extra Low Def (thats what SD programming looks like on my HDTV)
FIOS / YES - please please please - work out a deal to get the Yankees games on the YES Network! I need some good news.

I personally tend to agree with the last post... - the channel is pretty useless to me if the games are not on. I know some people enjoy getting the Joe Girardi show, and being able to watch batting practice, but I have seen pretty much all of the Yankeeography and the rest of the filler. Batting practice might be ok to see A-Rod back in action - its cool, but again - I feel like I just go duped.
I dont think I will be watching the channel at all - another / different sports channel would have probably been the better way to go.
My guess is that this is the first step of the Yankees working with MLB to come up with their own package - since the YES network is now being broacast nationally, it wouldnt take that much for them to be able to turn on the games / turn it into a paid package.
Although I am sure MLB, IN-Demand, and all of the other players who have rights to other specific time slots (like the Saturday afternoon, and Sunday evening games will have a fit it that what the Yankees try to do)

  • Internet - Yes, Network - No

    I have just recently installed a wireless router and have been trying to setup a home network.  I actually had this working for a few days and then it stopped for some reason. 
    The router is connected to a desktop machine (vaio) and then I have a laptop (gateway) that is connected wirelessly.  I can access the internet fine from both machines, but gateway and vaio can't see each other.  If I try to access the workgroup machines section of my network places from gateway I get a message saying HOME is not accessible.  You may not have permissions to use this network resource.  Please contact the system admin.  I am the system admin...  Each machine only has one user and they are both setup as the admin. 
    I tried connecting gateway to the router with a network cable, but that gave me a message saying that I had limited or no connectivity. 
    I tried restoring gateway to a restore point from when the network was working but that didn't help. 
    I tried resetting the router to the factory settings (which I hadn't changed)
    I tried turning the windows and trend micro firewalls off
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the file and printer sharing protocols under the wireless connection
    I shut off the intranet security
    I setup a new user with admin rights, but that user couldn't access the workgroup stuff either
    I can ping the router and the satellite modem and itself, but not the other computer
    I tired going into a windows explorer window and typing \\gateway but that said that it couldn't find that computer on the network.  I do have the whole C drive shared as C, so i should see something here.
    I am out of ideas at this point and any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    "I can access the internet fine from both machines, but gateway and vaio can't see each other.  .....  I get a message saying HOME is not accessible."
    This sounds like a workgroup problem.  I once had MSN dial up (think it was ver 6/7) and it reset my workgroup to HOME also.
    Do both machines have the same workgroup? If you have XP, right-click on MyComputer > Properties > computer name (tab) > change (button).  Type in a new group name like "pleasework" on both PCs and reboot.
    Let us know if it helps or not.

  • YES networks,NO internet- WHY?????

    Hi, I have first problem with my iPhone.My phone find a network and connect to it but when I open safari just loading and nothing.Where is problem and how to resolve?
    Thank you
    p.s i have iPhone 3G

    This can happen if, during the initial setup of the iPhone or iPod touch or after performing a software update or restore using iTunes, no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth address was registered.

  • Have you been contacted about an $80 credit?  It's a scam.

    My daughter alerted me to a call she received from Verizon telling her that we had an $80 credit and just to log in to receive it.
    Today, I just received a phone call (robo-call from phone number 800-922-1212) claiming that it was from Verizon and because I was such a good customer I could save $80 on my next bill by logging onto www.Verizon80.com.  When I tried to call back the number it was not in service.  When I looked on the official VerizonWireless.com website there was no warning but also no such program.
    I typed in the URL that they had given on the message and Chrome warned me that it was a Phishing website.  Just trying to trick people into giving away their account information.  I wanted to warn others.  This is a Scam!
    Others reported on http://whocallsme.com/
    "I went to that address, and it looks very ligit -- a big Present with a place to put your phone number/password/last 4 of SS# and make it ligit looking by making you put in a phishing code. PLEASE, DO NOT TO THIS -- IT IS A SCAM!! I called Verizon to verify its legitimacy and confirmed it IS a new SCAM."

    Agreed. I just received a call as well saying the exact same thing, except this on told me to go to www.verizon36.com
    Came from the Verizon customer service number just like yours. What got me thinking for a moment that it *might* be real, is because I am currently using the prepaid services, but my phone is currently off and the fact that I still received the phone call is what go me thinking.
    But yes, another scam. Thanks for the share.

  • Network Drives inaccessible

    I have now updated to Version 10049, after a fresh install of 10041, since the update from 9926 didn't work.  
    I have found that this version and 10041 both have a problem with seeing the local network drives.   I can assign  drive letters to the partitions on my NAS drive (Buffalo LS 2TB), but it does not appear in Networks.   I also use
    an external HDD (Seagate 400GB) on the USB connection on the router and that connects with Samba.   All the other PC's (2x Win 8.1 and Win 7) on the network can see them but not my Windows 10.   I may have seen a similar post, but can't
    find it now - so sorry if this is a repeat.
    I thought that the drives may have been visible initially, but I loaded the latest Dell drivers for this PC, and they disappeared again.
    I have no problems in the Device Mgnr
    Any advise on how to reinstate these connection.
    Thanks

    following the steps from here(but its done on vm-ware):
    http://blog.ronnyegner-consulting.de/2009/09/14/oracle-11g-release-2-install-guide-%E2%80%93-grid-infrastructure-installation/

    Why do you want to use bonding? If this is not a real RAC, what do you want to achieve by bonding?
    I do not see a dedicated Interconnect interface. Node 1 has NIC eth1 and node 2 has NIC eth2. One of the basics for RAC is to have the same configuration on each node. So if node 1 uses eth1 for public/virtual/private networking, then so should every other node in the cluster.
    If you bond eth0 and eth1, then what do you want to use for your Interconnect? The same bond0 interface that is now used for your RAC's public and virtual interface configuration?
    Make sure you understand the basic requirements for a RAC configuration. Make sure you adhere to these - even in a virtualised environment.

  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 Synchronies, network bandwidth jammed Problem.

    I have installed Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 (Standard Edition) in an about 5-6 Laptops, and I am facing issue that while synchronization is going on, my office network bandwidth is being affected. It utilises huge network bandwidth, and because
    of that network gets jammed. I have configured using IMAP protocol and using my gmail account in that.
    Can any one help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    DIPAK AHIR.

    Hi,
    For your first question : YES network issue happen to all Laptops.
    I will explain you the scenario, We are having some where about 80 machines (Including Desktops and Laptops) in our office network, all are working under same internet network. Out of this 80 Users We have 5-6 Laptop users who are using Microsoft
    Office Outlook 2013 (Standard Edition). All these 5-6 Laptop Users are having different amount of mails (items) as well as folders. Once any of these user starts his / her mail client - Microsoft Office Outlook 2013, suddenly our network bandwidth gets chocked
    and because of which my rest of the 80 users are not getting the Internet access. We have to ask them (Laptop user who has switched ON their Microsoft Office Outlook 2013) to close their mail client, Once Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 has been closed my network
    gets stable. At first we thought that it is because of mails are getting downloaded from mail server and hence network is getting jammed, so we did another exercise that let their mails gets downloaded to their local machine and afterwords - next time when
    they will start their mail client network should not be affected. But this network jammed scenario is still there, hence I ought to raise this issue.
    For your information we have tried removing profile, deleted required folders and reconfigured Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 but still issue is being replicated.
    Need your help for the same.
    Thanks.

  • Can't get network running in startup

    Hi
    I did my first Arch linux installation a few days ago and everything is running well except network. It fails to start in every startup. In /var/log/errors there is an entry:

    this comes in every startup.
    But when i login and run manually

    it starts with no errors.
    What should i do to get my network to start automatically?

  • Oracle VM Network Setting

    Hello friends,
    I am new to Oracle VM. I wantto configure my Guest VM's network to communicate outside of my Oracle VM Server but with no luck. Please help. Here is my configuration:
    One physical server installed as Oracle VM server. It's a Pool master, utility server, and a virtual machine server. This server has one NIC. The network configuration for the VM Server is as followed:
    /etc/sysconfig/network:
    NETWORKING=yes
    HOSTNAME=blah
    GATEWAY=10.10.10.1
    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
    IPADDR=10.10.10.40
    NETMASK=255.0.0.0
    ONBOOT=yes
    NETWORK=10.0.0.0
    One physical server with RHEL and have Oracle Manager installed on it.
    I created one guest VM. The OS for the guest is OEL5. The network configuration for the guest VM is as follow:
    /etc/sysconfig/network:
    NETWORKING=yes
    HOSTNAME=blahblah
    GATEWAY=10.10.10.1
    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
    IPADDR=10.10.10.41
    NETMASK=255.0.0.0
    NETWORK=10.0.0.0
    ONBOOT=yes
    Now, I cannot ssh to this guest VM from outside of the VM Server. The vm.cfg under the running_pool has this vif configuration:
    vif = ['mac=00:16:3E:3B:E7:6A, bridge=xenbr0']
    I think I am doing something wrong. Please help.
    thanks,
    TD

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader 2012 a scam or for real?

    I received an email from [email protected] offering Adobe Acrobat Reader 2012 that is supposed to have the capability to create and edit PDF files.
    It provides this link: http://www.2012-acrobat-online-upgrade.com/
    When one clicks on the download button, it first asks for one's email, then demands credit card details.
    And there's a disclaimer below, which says: "This website that no affiliation whatsoever with the owner of this software program, and provides only a link to the software program. Copyright 2012. All rights reserved."
    If this is a scam, may I ask Adobe to issue a warning because the offer looks tempting.
    Thank you.

    Yes. Scam. Easy to spot since there is no such thing as Adobe Acrobat Reader.

  • I think I have been scammed

    I have got an email of apple support : saying that I need to update my account otherwise it will be suspended and , I have done it and it's only after I done it I realised that it was a scam and it's from this email below and it's asks for your card security number , so I dunno what will happen can anyone help.
    <Email Edited By Host>

    Yes, this scam email has been seen frequently  in the past couple of months. Contact your credit card company and change your Apple ID password. Also try to recall the info you provided when you clicked the link in the email. If they asked for any other account passwords change all of them as well.

  • How To Install A (Almost) Working Lion Server With Profile Management/SSL/OD/Mail/iCal/Address Book/VNC/Web/etc.

    I recently installed a fresh version of Lion Server after attempting to fix a broken upgrade. With some help from others, I've managed to get all the new features working and have kept notes, having found that many or most of the necessary installation steps for both the OS and its services are almost entirely undocumented. When you get them working, they work great, but the entire process is very fragile, with simple setup steps causing breaks or even malicious behaviors. In case this is useful to others, here are my notes.
    Start with an erased, virgin, single guid partitioned drive. Not an upgrade. Not simply a repartitioned drive. Erased. Clean. Anything else can and probably will break the Lion Server install, as I discovered myself more than once. Before erasing my drive, I already had Lion and made a Lion install DVD from instructions widely available on the web. I suppose you could also boot into the Lion recovery partition and use disk utility to erase the OS X partition then install a new partition, but I cut a DVD. The bottom line is to erase any old OS partitions. And of course to have multiple, independent backups: I use both Time Machine with a modified StdExclusions.plist and Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Also, if you will be running your own personal cloud, you will want to know your domain name ahead of time, as this will be propagated everywhere throughout server, and changing anything related to SSL on Lion Server is a nightmare that I haven't figured out. If you don't yet have a domain name, go drop ten dollars at namecheap.com or wherever and reserve one before you start. Soemday someone will document how to change this stuff without breaking Lion Server, but we're not there yet. I'll assume the top-level domain name "domain.com" here.
    Given good backups, a Lion Install DVD (or Recovery Partition), and a domain name, here are the steps, apparently all of which must be more-or-less strictly followed in this order.
    DVD>Disk Utility>Erase Disk  [or Recovery Partition>Disk Utility>Erase Partition]
    DVD>Install Lion
    Reboot, hopefully Lion install kicks in
    Update, update, update Lion (NOT Lion Server yet) until no more updates
    System Preferences>Network>Static IP on the LAN (say 10.0.1.2) and Computer name ("server" is a good standbye)
    Terminal>$ sudo scutil --set HostName server.domain.com
    App Store>Install Lion Server and run through the Setup
    Download install Server Admin Tools, then update, update, update until no more updates
    Server Admin>DNS>Zones [IF THIS WASN'T AUTOMAGICALLY CREATED (mine wasn't): Add zone domain.com with Nameserver "server.domain.com." (that's a FQDN terminated with a period) and a Mail Exchanger (MX record) "server.domain.com." with priority 10. Add Record>Add Machine (A record) server.domain.com pointing to the server's static IP. You can add fancier DNS aliases and a simpler MX record below after you get through the crucial steps.]
    System Prefs>Network>Advanced>Set your DNS server to 127.0.0.1
    A few DNS set-up steps and these most important steps:
    A. Check that the Unix command "hostname" returns the correct hostname and you can see this hostname in Server.app>Hardware>Network
    B. Check that DNS works: the unix commands "host server.domain.com" and "host 10.0.1.2" (assuming that that's your static IP) should point to each other. Do not proceed until DNS works.
    C. Get Apple Push Notification Services CA via Server.app>Hardware>Settings><Click toggle, Edit... get a new cert ...>
    D. Server.app>Profile Manager>Configure... [Magic script should create OD Master, signed SSL cert]
    E. Server.app>Hardware>Settings>SSL Certificate> [Check to make sure it's set to the one just created]
    F. Using Server.app, turn on the web, then Server.app>Profile Manager> [Click on hyperlink to get to web page, e.g. server.domain.com/profilemanager] Upper RHS pull-down, install Trust Profile
    G. Keychain Access>System>Certificates [Find the automatically generated cert "Domain", the one that is a "Root certificate authority", Highlight and Export as .cer, email to all iOS devices, and click on the authority on the device. It should be entered as a trusted CA on all iOS devices. While you're at it, highlight and Export... as a .cer the certificate "IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1", which is listed an an "Intermediate CA" -- you will use this to establish secure SSL connections with remote browsers hitting your server.]
    H. iOS on LAN: browse to server.domain.com/mydevices> [click on LHS Install trust cert, then RHS Enroll device.
    I. Test from web browser server.domain.com/mydevices: Lock Device to test
    J. ??? Profit
    12. Server Admin>DNS>Zones> Add convenient DNS alias records if necessary, e.g., mail.domain.com, smtp.domain.com, www.domain.com. If you want to refer to your box using the convenient shorthand "domain.com", you must enter the A record (NOT alias) "domain.com." FQDN pointing to the server's fixed IP. You can also enter the convenient short MX record "domain.com." with priority 11. This will all work on the LAN -- all these settings must be mirrored on the outside internet using the service from which you registered domain.com.
    You are now ready to begin turning on your services. Here are a few important details and gotchas setting up cloud services.
    Firewall
    Server Admin>Firewall>Services> Open up all ports needed by whichever services you want to run and set up your router (assuming that your server sits behind a router) to port forward these ports to your router's LAN IP. This is most a straightforward exercise in grepping for the correct ports on this page, but there are several jaw-droppingly undocumented omissions of crucial ports for Push Services and Device Enrollment. If you want to enroll your iOS devices, make sure port 1640 is open. If you want Push Notifications to work (you do), then ports 2195, 2196, 5218, and 5223 must be open. The Unix commands "lsof -i :5218" and "nmap -p 5218 server.domain.com" (nmap available from Macports after installing Xcode from the App Store) help show which ports are open.
    SSH
    Do this with strong security. Server.app to turn on remote logins (open port 22), but edit /etc/sshd_config to turn off root and password logins.
    PermitRootLogin no
    PasswordAuthentication no
    ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
    I'm note sure if toggling the Allow remote logins will load this config file or, run "sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist ; sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist" to restart the server's ssh daemon.
    Then use ssh-keygen on remote client to generate public/private keys that can be used to remotely login to the server.
    client$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -C client_name
    [Securely copy ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from client to server.]
    server$ cat id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/known_hosts
    I also like DenyHosts, which emails detected ssh attacks to [email protected]. It's amazing how many ssh attacks there are on any open port 22. Not really an added security feature if you've turned off password logins, but good to monitor. Here's a Lion Server diff for the config file /usr/share/denyhosts:
    $ diff denyhosts.cfg-dist denyhosts.cfg
    12c12
    < SECURE_LOG = /var/log/secure
    > #SECURE_LOG = /var/log/secure

    > ADMIN_EMAIL = [email protected]
    286c292
    < #SYSLOG_REPORT=YES
    > SYSLOG_REPORT=YES
    Network Accounts
    User Server.app to create your network accounts; do not use Workgroup Manager. If you use Workgroup Manager, as I did, then your accounts will not have email addresses specified and iCal Server WILL NOT COMPLETELY WORK. Well, at least collaboration through network accounts will be handled clunkily through email, not automatically as they should. If you create a network account using Workgroup Manager, then edit that account using Server.app to specify the email to which iCal invitations may be sent. Server.app doesn't say anything about this, but that's one thing that email address entry is used for. This still isn't quite solid on Lion Server, as my Open Directory logs on a freshly installed Lion Server are filled with errors that read:
    2011-12-12 15:05:52.425 EST - Module: SystemCache - Misconfiguration detected in hash 'Kerberos':
         User 'uname' (/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1) - ID 1031 - UUID 98B4DF30-09CF-42F1-6C31-9D55FE4A0812 - SID S-0-8-83-8930552043-0845248631-7065481045-9092
    Oh well.
    Email
    Email aliases are handled with the file /private/etc/postfix/aliases. Do something like this
    root:           myname
    admin:          myname
    sysadmin:       myname
    certadmin:      myname
    webmaster:      myname
    my_alternate:   myname
    Then run "sudo newaliases". If your ISP is Comcast or some other large provider, you probably must proxy your outgoing mail through their SMTP servers to avoid being blocked as a spammer (a lot of SMTP servers will block email from Comcast/whatever IP addresses that isn't sent by Comcast). Use Server.app>Mail to enter your account information. Even then, the Lion Server default setup may fail using this proxy. I had to do this with the file /private/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    cd /etc/postfix
    sudo cp ./main.cf ./main.cf.no_smtp_sasl_security_options
    sudo echo 'smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous' >> ./main.cf
    sudo serveradmin stop mail
    sudo serveradmin start mail
    Finally, make sure that you're running a blacklisting srevice yourself! Server Admin>Mail>Filter> Use spamhaus.org as a blacklister. Finally, set up mail to use strong Kerberos/MD5 settings under on Server Admin>Mail>Advanced. Turn off password and clear logins. The settings should be set to "Use" your SSL cert, NOT "Require". "Require" consistently breaks things for me.
    If you already installed the server's Trust Certificate as described above (and opened up the correct ports), email to your account should be pushed out to all clients.
    iCal Server
    Server.app>Calendar>Turn ON and Allow Email Invitations, Edit... . Whatever you do, do NOT enter your own email account information in this GUI. You must enter the account information for local user com.apple.calendarserver, and the password for this account, which is stored in the System keychain: Keychain Access>System> Item com.apple.servermgr_calendar. Double-click and Show Password, copy and paste into Server.app dialog. This is all described in depth here. If you enter your own account information here (DO NOT!), the iCal Server will delete all Emails in your Inbox just as soon as it reads them, exactly like it works for user com.apple.calendarserver. Believe me, you don't want to discover this "feature", which I expect will be more tightly controlled in some future update.
    Web
    The functionality of Server.app's Web management is pretty limited and awful, but a few changes to the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf will give you a pretty capable and flexible web server, just one that you must manage by hand. Here's a diff for httpd.conf:
    $ diff httpd.conf.default httpd.conf
    95c95

    I did "sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/mydomain" and add specific config files for various web pages to host. For example, here's a config file that will host the entire contents of an EyeTV DVR, all password controlled with htdigest ("htdigest ~uname/.htdigest EyeTV uname"). Browsing to https://server.domain.com/eyetv points to /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV, in which there's an index.php script that can read and display the EyeTV archive at https://server.domain.com/eyetv_archive. If you want Apache username accounts with twiddles as in https://server.domain.com/~uname, specify "UserDir Sites" in the configuration file.
    Alias /eyetv /Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV
    <Directory "/Users/uname/Sites/EyeTV">
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "EyeTV"
        AuthUserFile /Users/uname/.htdigest
        AuthGroupFile /dev/null
        Require user uname
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    Alias /eyetv_archive "/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/Documents/EyeTV Archive"
    <Directory "/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/Documents/EyeTV Archive">
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "EyeTV"
        AuthUserFile /Users/uname/.htdigest
        AuthGroupFile /dev/null
        Require user uname
        Options Indexes MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    I think you can turn Web off/on in Server.app to relaunch apached, or simply "sudo apachectl -D WEBSERVICE_ON -D MACOSXSERVER -k restart".
    Securely copy to all desired remote clients the file IntermediateCA_SERVER.DOMAIN.COM_1.cer, which you exported from System Keychain above. Add this certificate to your remote keychain and trust it, allowing secure connections between remote clients and your server. Also on remote clients: Firefox>Advanced>Encryption>View Certificates>Authorities>Import...> Import this certificate into your browser. Now there should be a secure connection to https://server.domain.com without any SSL warnings.
    One caveat is that there should be a nice way to establish secure SSL to https://domain.com and https://www.domain.com, but the automagically created SSL certificate only knows about server.domain.com. I attempted to follow this advice when I originally created the cert and add these additional domains (under "Subject Alternate Name Extension"), but the cert creation UI failed when I did this, so I just gave up. I hope that by the time these certs expire, someone posts some documentation on how to manage and change Lion Server SSL scripts AFTER the server has been promoted to an Open Directory Master. In the meantime, it would be much appreciated if anyone can post either how to add these additional domain names to the existing cert, or generate and/or sign a cert with a self-created Keychain Access root certificate authority. In my experience, any attempt to mess with the SSL certs automatically generated just breaks Lion Server.
    Finally, if you don't want a little Apple logo as your web page icon, create your own 16×16 PNG and copy it to the file /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/favicon.ico. And request that all web-crawling robots go away with the file /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/robots.txt:

    Misc
    VNC easily works with iOS devices -- use a good passphrase. Edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist and set "listen_addresses=127.0.0.1" to allow PostgreSQL connections over localhost. I've also downloaded snort/base/swatch to build an intrusion detection system, and used Macports's squid+privoxy to build a privacy-enhanced ad-blocking proxy server.

    Privacy Enhancing Filtering Proxy and SSH Tunnel
    Lion Server comes with its own web proxy, but chaining Squid and Privoxy together provides a capable and effective web proxy that can block ads and malicious scripts, and conceal information used to track you around the web. I've posted a simple way to build and use a privacy enhancing web proxy here. While you're at it, configure your OS and browsers to block Adobe Flash cookies and block Flash access to your camera, microphone, and peer networks. Read this WSJ article series to understand how this impacts your privacy. If you configure it to allow use for anyone on your LAN, be sure to open up ports 3128, 8118, and 8123 on your firewall.
    If you've set up ssh and/or VPN as above, you can securely tunnel in to your proxy from anywhere. The syntax for ssh tunnels is a little obscure, so I wrote a little ssh tunnel script with a simpler flexible syntax. This script also allows secure tunnels to other services like VNC (port 5900). If you save this to a file ./ssht (and chmod a+x ./ssht), example syntax to establish an ssh tunnel through localhost:8080 (or, e.g., localhost:5901 for secure VNC Screen Sharing connects) looks like:
    $ ./ssht 8080:[email protected]:3128
    $ ./ssht 8080:alice@:
    $ ./ssht 8080:
    $ ./ssht 8018::8123
    $ ./ssht 5901::5900  [Use the address localhost:5901 for secure VNC connects using OS X's Screen Sharing or Chicken of the VNC (sudo port install cotvnc)]
    $ vi ./ssht
    #!/bin/sh
    # SSH tunnel to squid/whatever proxy: ssht [-p ssh_port] [localhost_port:][user_name@][ip_address][:remotehost][:remote_port]
