I have Asus wl-500Gp with Openwrt 10.03. I need only very simple proxy server on router.

I tried every proxy from this page: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/proxy.overview but without succes. None of these servers worked for me on my router. It is difficult to find some simple example config file for these servers. I found either nothing or very complex setup instructions with million of options (squid).

Can you send me (link) to absolutely easy, step by step instructions with config example how to set up simple HTTP proxy server on my router?

I don't need any security setting, any filtering, any caching only simple proxy. Router has direct WAN connection to internet and proxy server will be accessed from LAN (both wifi and wired).

Thank you for your posts.

I use privoxy.  You can install it with
opkg update
pkg install privoxy

Once you have it installed you need change the listen-address in /etc/privoxy/config file to your router ip address such as listen-address  192.168.1.1:8118.  You need change default setting permit-access  192.168.1.0/24 to something else if you use a different sub set.

Last you need start up the proxy server with command /etc/init.d/privoxy start.  If you want have router starts proxy server automatically at boot you can create a soft link for it in /etc/rc.d.  The command for it is ln -s ../init.d/privoxy /etc/rc.d/S70privoxy.

You'll need to add the proxy information to your internet browser to use it.

confdir /etc/privoxy
logdir /var/log

Thank you for help - privoxy works fine now on my router.

But i have second problem in other thread:

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=30395

Hey does it really works, I mean I was in search of this so I need to install proxy. Well thanks but now let me try.
Then I'll inform you whether it is working or not.

TinyProxy works fine for me, small blueprint and good performance for small device wilth limited memory.
but it didn't have contents caching
