Can I set up my Ubuntu machine as a proxy?

Question

I have 2 machines connected to a network that provides internet access.

I would like one of the machines, which is running Ubuntu 10.04, to act as an internet proxy for the other machine, which is running Windows.

How would I set this up? Is there a good Ubuntu proxy I can install?

Yes

How would I set this up?

Set what up? What sort of proxy? An "internet" proxy you say... so internet via SOCKS proxy or internet via HTTP proxy?

Is there a good Ubuntu proxy I can install?

Squid. There is a guide for configuring this here.

Preferably a SOCKS proxy. – George Edison May 22 '10 at 2:05

Take a look at Antinat then. – ta.speot.is May 22 '10 at 2:10
