Re: [Ziproxy-users] ziproxy chain problems

[Antonis T. <ant...@gm...>]

Daniel thanks for the reply.

I have been using ziproxy for many years (probably from the beginning of 
its existence)
so we could have easy access from our homes (or on the go) to Library 
services which are IP-restricted.
For this simple need ziproxy provided a simple solution.

It was always trivial to setup and trivial to setup authentication
using passwords, and had no issues with https as a standalone simple proxy.
And since it was always working I had no reason
to look elsewhere 😁

Anyways, thank you for your answer. I will consider my options
for this particular need case.

best,

Antonis.
