A friend has a PC with access to the internet. I also have internet but I want to connect to the internet through my friend's computer, using his computer as a VPN, so that I can access websites blocked by my current ISP.
I know I can use logmein (For example) to control his PC and surf there, but I just need the ability to connect to his PC/network and surf through his internet, just like a VPN does.
my question is: what software / method can help us achieve this?
Note: he has dynamic i.p internet
Bypassing DNS blocks isn't that hard.
You can use Google DNS to reach about every site. You change your Domain Name Settings[*] to those of Google and you'll be able to visit TPB or other blocked sites.
If you want to work with a VPN, it'd be best if your friend sets his IP to static.
This way you can use the built-in VPN client in Microsoft to connect to him. Check out this tutorial on how to make a VPN on his pc and connect with it from yours.
[*] DNS-settings are needed to retreive an IP from your ISP. If you change them to Google DNS, you'll get an IP from Google and your DNS-lookups (when you surf to a site) will go via Google instead of via your ISP. This allowes you to bypass local DNS-blocks and some sites will load a few miliseconds faster.

I have a webpage and a little game server running on my own machine that is located at my work office.
The problem is that some people can't reach the webpage and game server, because of some network issues. The reasons are not the key, just take it (for almost all my community all things works fine, there just some troubles for a specific group).
So,
I have set up the test Droplet on Digital Ocean, with socks5 proxy installed.
https://github.com/hensly/socks5
And it all worked :) Clients that are restricted to connect directly are just using my proxy server to connect to the webpage or game server.
.
So my questions come up:
How can I limit my proxy to work only with certain IPs? Actually, I need only one IP - the IP of my server-pc, and that's it (the reserved (white) IP and domain name attached to it). Is there a way of such limitation on the proxy side? I just don't want them to use proxy for everything (mostly because there is not an unlimited Bandwidth and it could cost some extra).
Thanks <3
p.s. if you know other, more convenient ways to solve my problem, I'd appreciate it if you share your thoughts.
I have installed xampp server on my windows 7.
I am connecting internet using HUAWEI Dongle.
I don't have any static IP address.i Want to access my php file from internet example I have connected to internet now I have dynamic IP address like 100.101.73.240 if some one enter 100.101.73.240/home.php in his browser address bar then my home.php page should open in his browser.
What should I do for this give me step by step guide.
Local Ip can't work over the internet. It's your intranet network. If you have dynamic internet IP, then you simply configure the Dynamic DNS service. Which you can configure your Internet Router with the following settings (provided by the Dynamic DNS service providers).
dyn.com
noip.com
dynu.com
many more.
Thanks
If you want to share IP with someone from your local area network:
Go to cmd, run ipconfig command, and find your local IP, which should be like 192.168.xxx.yyy. You can easily share it with no worries it will change each time you reset your network.
If it's someone from external network:
You have no power to share your external IP if you have dynamic one, it will change too often, but still it should work for a short connection sessions. To obtain a stable address you would have to register a domain
I have a high speed cable internet connection at home. I have D-link router, and I connect 2 computers, one is a desktop running Windows XP, the other is a laptop running Windows 7. I am perfectly able to use internet on both computers.
Now I want to host my personal web site from my home computer. I have already built the site that is running on my home network. Now I want to make it accessible from internet. I did all the procedures to open the appropriate ports on my router, allow incoming connections, and port forwarding setup, using the router's guide : http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20826L/Manual/DIR_826L_MANUAL_EN_UK.pdf .
However I am still not able to see my web site from public internet.
When I try to go to my site using my local IP address (192.168.0.103) or computer name, the site is loaded on other home computer, but when I try the same using my public IP address (found with "what is my ip" on google search), I get "Page cannot be loaded" error.
Can someone please help me telling what I am doing wrong, and how the problem can be fixed?
Thanks in advance.
Are you attempting to hit your WAN IPaddress from inside your house, aka, on the lan that the WAN would hit? It could be NAT Reflection/lack thereof getting in your way. Make sure you're trying to hit your WAN IP from a network outside of your local network. If you have a phone, turn off wifi, and use your phone.
Besides that, you've listed all of the basic steps necessary. Should the above not be the problem, I would start by checking your PCs firewall. In particular on Windows 7 checking to make sure you click real hard on that "public networks" button. Then just try and ping port 80, not load the webpage. If you can't ping, it suggests configuration issues with your router/connection. If you can, there's just some configuration that's effed up with your webserver.
I often visit various sites and like to do so anonymously from behind a proxy. However, it seems as if some websites are still able to detect my real IP address. I know this because they use the IP address to attempt to geolocate me for services.
How did they actually get my real IP Address if I am using a proxy?
How can I truly hide myself?
Most proxies you'll find online are so-called 'transparant proxies'. This means they identify themselves as proxy and even give your real IP-address to the site.
These proxies are commonly used to load pages on the proxy-server instead of your PC.
IP proxies won't protect you at all, to be honest.
What you need are VPN's (Virtual Private Networks) a.k.a. Network Tunnel.
VPN's allow you to do everything online via an external PC inside that network. You'll get that PC's IP and all loading etc happens on that PC.
Not all VPN's are undetected. If you always want to browse the web anonymously, you'll need to find some HQ VPN's (barely for free) and you'll need to change VPN frequently.
Try searching on HideMyAss, SecurityKISS, ... or maybe even the TOR-network
I am trying to develop one application which can block all urls using win32 api on windows desktop application.
So is there any api or any procedure doing programmatically so that i can block all urls?
It's impossible to block just URLs. If you want to make sure no one can access the internet the only way to do this would be to unplug the ethernet cable. (Or whatever is giving you connectivity) Here's why:
Blocking all DNS resolution won't stop someone from accessing http://206.132.84.265/
Blocking port 80 and 443 won't stop someone from accessing a web site hosted on a non-standard port.
Denying access to IE and installation of any other software won't stop someone from downloading a browser that doesn't require to be installed (Like a text browser) and putting it on a thumb drive.
Buying an expensive firewall that blocks HTTP traffic won't be able to stop SSL operating on a non-standard port.
Believe me, back in highschool I worked in a warehouse with a scanner gun and figured out how I could check my email with it (with a little help from my computer at home) since an internet gateway was on the same network.
If you want to block people from surfing the web, disconnect the internet.
I suppose you can do it using the Windows Firewall API
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa366453.aspx
You can do this using Windows Firewall Protocol. This is an API provided by Microsoft.
For Vista it's straight-forward, but for XP you need to do some work around, as examples are not available for that.
