Hello.

I wanted to "sneak in" a friend of mine into a members-only forum in
which i am member of. For that reason, i want to install a HTTP proxy,
so my friend can access the forum with my IP.
Now, since Squid seemed a little overkill for me (and honestly way too
complicated) i wanted to try out Apache's mod_proxy.

With the default configuration, the proxyserver works. However, it
will return a 403, no matter what URI i am trying to access.

What do i have to do to get it working?

This is the default configuration:
ProxyRequests On
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from <friend's IP here>
</Proxy>
ProxyVia On

Can you post your mod_proxy.conf file ?

That what i posted in the first post is pretty much it. I only removed
irrelevant information.
Here is the complete file:

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
#turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may
allow
#spammers to use your proxy to send email.

ProxyRequests On

<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</Proxy>

# Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
# ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all
outgoing Via: headers)
# Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block

ProxyVia On
</IfModule>


Thanks.

Just for test, how does it behave when "Allow from all" instead ?

How about site configuration file? In my system it is
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/<your_site>

<your_site> can be alse default site.

There you should add something like
<Location /comeheremyfriend>
ProxyPass http://forumaddress/
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</Location>


And with this, you can leave

Deny from all

in proxy.conf.

At lease in my configuration on debian it works like that.

Doesn't seem to change anything.

Thanks, but i'd really need the allowed IP to browse everywhere it
wants.
