Recycle Dlink DNS-323 as a HTTP Proxy Server

Found the useful funplug polipo HTTP Proxy Server for DNS-323 from the original link.

Polipo is a fast caching and small web proxy (a web cache, a proxy server, an HTTP proxy). 

Polipo is lightweight, has a web interface for configuration and has enough options (set in /ffp/etc/polipo/config) which I didn't change anything. Just use the default configuration and work just fine.

1. Funplug must be install in DNS-323
2. Download the funplug from the above link and place in the "/mnt/HD_a2/packages" directory.
/mnt/HD_a2/packages # ls -l polipo-1.0.4.tgz
-rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody 501 296622 Mar 18 22:37 polipo-1.0.4.tgz
3. funplug -i polipo-1.0.4.tgz
4. Reboot DNS-323
5. Check the process.
/mnt/HD_a2/packages # ps -ef|grep polipo
1745 root /ffp/bin/polipo -c /ffp/etc/polipo/config daemonise=true logFile="/ffp/var/log/polipo-deamon.log"
6. Set the browser proxy as the ip address of the DNS-323 and port 8123. example firefox.

Typical recommendations of superb optics, now Nikkor classics

° 24mm f/2 AI-S Some buy the f/2.8 due to its lower price
° 35mm f/1.4 AI-S Some get the f/2 for the same price reason
° 50mm f/1.2 AI-S The f/1.4 and f/1.8 are more popular due to cost and the 55mm f/2.8 Micro for its specific macro use
° 85mm f/1.4 AI-S Same thing here -cost- for the f/1.8
° 105mm f/2.5 AI-S I like the 105mm f/1.8 slightly better but it is more difficult to find in EX+ condition or above and more expensive
° 135mm f/2.8 AI-S Same comment as above about the 135mm f/2.0, which I like better
° 180mm f/2.8 ED IF AI-S Darn good, slightly better than the AI version
° 200mm f/2 ED IF AI-S Others prefer the 200mm f/4 Micro and the AI versions
° 300mm f/2.8 ED IF AI-S Excellent, slightly better than the AI
° 400mm f/2.8 ED IF AI-S Here you may opt for the 400mm f/3.5 P
