was wondering if it's possible to set up on a proxy on a remote server. I've tried PHProxy, which is a web based browser-in-browser proxy script I could upload via FTP, but it didn't always function with scripts or flash. Would it be possible to configure my server in such a way that it allows me to proxy via my browser's connection settings? Or do you have a better alternative?
Thanks in advance!
P.S: I hope ServerFault is the right place for this kind of thing, sorry if it's not.

Assuming your server has an SSH daemon -- you can use SSH as a SOCKS proxy:
Then just configure your browser to use localhost port 8080 as a SOCKS proxy, and you're done.
