Another almost free computers thin client set up Part II.

In this section we will add some internet safety software and allow access to the net from the ltsp clients.

Step 1 Setting up a proxy

To filter the internet we need a tool to allow us to do that. Tinyproxy allows us to do that.

Launch the Synaptic Package Manager from the "System" -> "Administration" menu.

We need to make sure that community open source packages are available. To do that under the menu "Settings" select "Repositories". Make sure "Community maintained Open Source software (universe)" is selected.

Now on the tool menu click Search and type "tinyproxy". Right-click on "tinyproxy" and select "Mark for Installation". Now click Apply on the tool menu.

or
sudo apt-get install tinyproxy

Tinyproxy should now be installed.
