Turning PC into Proxy Server?

[millermagic]

I know that I can set my pc up to be an http server, is there any way I can set it up to be a proxy server? i.e. I connect to it from another computer and use the internet connection from my p.c. on the other one.

Sure.

 

Here's one I think I've used before.

Will I be able to use that over the internet?

Can I use that program to set up my PS2 ethernet cable to my computer and get the internet connection from it? I can't connect the ethernet directly to the cable modem cause some lighting fubared it(it just works through usb).

For that you can simply use 'Internet connection sharing' from windows, pretty simple guide for that can be found here.

 

As for the proxy server, sure you can use it from the internet, if you can forward the port to your computer in your modem/router it should work fine.

It works. When I got it last night, I set up port forwarding on the router and set up the program and it worked fine. If I didn't set it up right, I wouldn't be making this post right now.
