Is there any way in which I can turn my Raspberry Pi into a proxy server?

I have been learning about ways to protect yourself online (vpns, etc...) and I would like to be able to route my internet stuff through my home network connection.

There are many ways to implement a proxy - What do you want? A SOCKS Proxy (SSHd can do it), A HTTP Proxy (Look at Squid) or a VPN? If you are trying to hide your online identity, you should not have your Pi on the home network. Or are you trying to use Pi as a firewall? (iptables - I would suggest using webmin as the UI). – Lord Loh. Apr 19 at 18:28
@LordLoh. This is meant to be a fun project which is also a helpful tool. In the end, I really just want to be able to link my proxy ip and stuff to Ultra Surf – xxmbabanexx Apr 19 at 18:44
If you have a code that runs on linux, it shall run on the Pi. As long as it is not a binary only distribution for x86. – Lord Loh. Apr 19 at 19:11
@xxmbabanexx You want to make UltraSurf think that you're at home when you're mobile? Can you enter a HTTP proxy that the UltraSurf Software should use? Then you just need to install a proxy on your RPi (sudo apt-get install tinyproxy), configure it, then configure your home router to use a dyndns service and forward a port to tinyproxy. – maligree Apr 21 at 21:20
