Quick Proxy Question

[Yeldarb]

I'm at school trying to set up a linux box, but the firewall/proxy won't let me have any connections on port 80. I can't find a linux application that will let me authenticate myself to the server (It's a Novell Bordermanager server... I think what I'd need is client trust).

Anyway, is there a way to set Firefox to use a different port?

3 workarounds that I've found are to VNC to my WIN XP computer and then get online from there

SSH to my server at home and use Links2 command line browser (ugh)

And use a proxy server that doesn't use port 80 to connect... which is the most viable option at this point... only problem is that it's really slow.

Changing firefox's port would be a much better solution but I dont know how (about:config perhaps?)

If not, could someone tell me where I could find a faster proxy (one that's not in Canada... which is the closest I could find)

Thanks =)

I had to manual change firefox's when i installed it at my school...

Tools>Options>General Tab> and connection settings button.>Probably the manual set up of proxy one.

All you have to do is obtain this info and it will work... for me it was just copying it from Internet Explorer over.

Although i might have not understood your question perfectly.

No, our proxy requires authentication, but only on traffic through port 80.

Setting it to the proxy address (10.0.0.1) brings up a login page that you can't get by, on windows machines you can just login with your info, but on linux for some reason it just leaves you sitting at the login screen.

So I need a way out around this, like browsing on port 81 or something.
