I am wondering if the polipo http proxy server (or something similar 3proxy, tinyproxy, etc.) could be added to the alt-f available packages. Personal proxies can be very useful for getting around pesky corporate firewalls!

So not much interest it seems, but I will end this with a request for the Polipo package for Alt-F.
Thanks so much for adding this to the alt-f packages. I've installed it, but need to reconfigure my router before I can test.
-polipo limits its own memory usage to 1/4 the system memory, so you will find it to use about 12MB. Edit the conf file chunkHighMark to limit this. -by default polipo stores the on-disk cache on /var/cache/polipo; as on Alt-F this is an on-memory filesystem, I changed it to /var/spool/polipo.
allowedClients = "127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.0/24"
I got the following error in the logs:Couldn’t parse network 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.0
A quick search revealed the problem..... After a few tests, it seemed that Polipo’s configuration should not be encapsulated with double quotes “”.
So fixing the configuration to allowedClients = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.0/24
did the trick.
