Proxy Software?

[whrswoldo]

I am looking for some type of proxy software that will allow me to connect to my home network from an external IP address so that the IP address on my computer will appear to be my home IP. The software can run on either Windows or Linux. My home connection has a 18mbps upload so bandwidth will not be an issue. Does such a thing exist?

I am going to be out of town and would like to watch a game this weekend but I will have no TV access. I will however have internet access and the game is on espn3.com, although it will only allow me to connect through my home IP address.

Yes, I know that I am crazy, but I would still appreciate the help So far my searching has turned up nothing

espn360.com let's you "go remote". I can't get to it from work or i'd walk you through it. Sign onto it from home and look for "sync remote" or "activate remote" or something like that.

Long story short, I have a non-standard FIOS setup due to my condo HOA which makes me unable to access ESPN3 or my DVR remotely. When I try to log into the ESPN3 remote page I get a PAGE NOT FOUND error page. FIOS support doesn't know their head from their ass, so I've given up on getting the issue resolved with them

I'm going to give SSH/SOCKS a try later

squid on linux would work. It's pretty quick to get setup too.

Update for posterity...

I got this working without much effort, very simple process.

1. Install ssh server on server

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

2. Install ssh client on remote computer

sudo apt-get install openssh-client

3. Update firewall settings to allow connection on port you specified, or set DMZ
4. From client computer, enter following command in terminal:

ssh -D 9999 user_name@ip_address_of_server

5. Enter password when prompted
6. Open your web browser and change the proxy settings for SOCKS to use "localhost" and port 9999
