A couple days ago one leg that feeds power to our house went out. So yesterday, PUD came out to fix it and accidentally killed my Comcast Internet with a backhoe. So now I’m using dial-up AOL until Sunday when Comcast might come out to fix the Internet cables. Originally, the problem traces back to the water pipeline guys who nicked the power and my Internet cables the first time.
Now that I’m on dial-up, I want to share the Internet connection with our computers. In the past I used [Squid] as a network proxy. [ACME] provides windows binaries in the [related downloads] section. Squid seems to be better than [Internet Connection Sharing] because each time AOL connects it recreates the network connections. So this means you lose your Internet sharing settings. In this respect Squid is better. However, Squid by default only supports http, https, and ftp.
