<p>The cat command (short for concatenate) shown in this example is like the DOS type command. In response to the command cat pig_info, the system simply splatters the file on the screen. If there is more data in the file than will fit on one screen, the contents whiz by before you can see it. The more command solves this problem by displaying the file screen by screen:</p>
<pre>$ more filename</pre>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What You’ll Need</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Always on Computer: </strong>This can be your at home desktop. It will be the computer you will install your proxy server on, create a tunnel to and securely browse the internet through.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi2/">Hamachi:</a></strong> A free (for non-commercial use), cross-platform VPN service that, gives you secure access to your home network no matter where you are.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a>:</strong> A free, easy to set up web proxy with advanced privacy features.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2>Step One: Install and Set Up Hamachi</h2>
<p>The first thing you’ll want to do is install Hamachi on the computer that’s going to act as you proxy and on the computer(s) you want to browse securely on when you’re on a public network. For example, I’ve got Hamachi installed on my Windows desktop computer at home (which will act as my secure proxy), then also installed on my MacBook Air (which I’ll be using on public networks).</p>
<p><a href="http://pccured.com/Cures/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/proxyserver21.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Once you’ve installed and powered on Hamachi (the first time you launch it, you need to click to blue power button to “Power on”), you’ll need to create a new private network. To do so, click the Network menu, then select Create a new network. Give your network a unique ID and password (remember the password), then click Create. That’s all there is to setting up your new network.</p>
<p>Next, download and install Hamachi on your laptop or other machine. Again, power on Hamachi, but this time, instead of creating a new network, select Network &gt; Join an existing network, and then enter the Network ID and password you set up on the first machine.</p>
<p>Note: You can also create and manage your networks by signing into LogMeIn. For our purposes it’s not necessary, but it is a great way to further manage Hamachi.</p>
<p>You can rinse and repeat this on every machine you want to do this with, for up to 16 clients (that’s the limit for Hamachi’s free-for-non-commercial-use version). Now that you’re set up with Hamachi, it’s time to install Privoxy on your always-on home machine.</p>
<h2>Step 2: Install and Set Up Privoxy</h2>
<p>Privoxy is a free, open source web proxy that we’re going to install to your always-on home machine. So download Privoxy <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ijbswa/files/">from Sourceforge</a> for your system and <a href="http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/installation.html">install</a>. Privoxy is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, so you should be able to find a download to fit your needs. For my example, I’m using Windows, which you can easily install by running through a regular old installer. Things may run slightly different on other systems, but it should be the same basic setup. If you need help, check <a href="http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/installation.html">Privoxy’s installation page</a>.</p>
<p>After you’ve installed Privoxy, launch the application. (If you’re running a firewall, you may need to give it access to open a port.) In Windows, Privoxy loads as a blank window. Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean it isn’t working. In fact, you can close this window; Privoxy will still be running in your system tray.</p>
<p>Now it’s time to configure Privoxy to shuttle traffic through your Hamachi setup, so right-click Privoxy in the system tray and select Edit &gt; Main Configuration. Notepad will open with a text file called <code>config.txt</code>; this is Privoxy’s main configuration file. Press Ctrl+f and search for <code>listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118</code>. Comment out that code by entering # in front of it, then paste <code>listen-address</code> followed by the IP address created by Hamachi. You can see, for example, that my proxy is set to <code>listen-address 5.xxx.xxx.xx:8118</code>. Save <code>config.txt</code> and restart Privoxy.</p>
<h2>Step 3: Set Up Your Web Browser to Use Your New Secure Proxy</h2>
<p>Now you just need to set your browser to use the secure Hamachi+Privoxy proxy you’ve set up so far. This last step varies by browser, but I’ll walk through setting it up on Chrome or Firefox.</p>
<h3>ON CHROME</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/caehdcpeofiiigpdhbabniblemipncjj">Proxy Switchy extension</a>. Once installed, it should automatically open a new tab with its options. (If it doesn’t, right-click the Proxy Switchy icon in your toolbar and select Options.)</li>
<li>Enter a profile name—something like Privoxy.</li>
<li>In the HTTP Proxy box under Manual Configuration, enter the Hamachi VPN IP address to the computer where you set up your proxy. Set the port to 8118. (Remember that you need Hamachi running on both computers when you want to use this proxy, and you can get the IP of any other computer on your Hamachi network by right-clicking the computer name and selecting Copy address.)</li>
<li>Click Save and you’re done.</li>
</ol>
<p>Whenever you want to browse using your secure proxy—whenever you hit your coffee shop, for example—just click the Proxy Switchy icon in Chrome, then select your Privoxy connection.</p>
<h3>ON FIREFOX</h3>
<ol>
<li>Open your Firefox preferences, then click on the Advanced tab. Click the Network tab, then the Settings button next to “Configure how Firefox connects to the Internet”.</li>
<li>Click Manual proxy configuration, then enter the IP address of your Hamachi-powered proxy server and 8118 as your port. (In my case, for example, I’d right click “Windows” in Hamachi and copy the address for the Windows computer.)</li>
<li>Click OK.</li>
</ol>
<h3>MAKE SURE IT’S WORKING</h3>
<p>To test that Privoxy is working, you can simply point your browser to<a href="http://config.privoxy.org/">http://config.privoxy.org/</a>. If it is, you’ll see a message like “This is Privoxy 3.0.17 on Windows (5.xxx.xxx.xx), port 8118, enabled.” If not, you’ll see a page that reads “Privoxy is not being used”. Also, if you’re on a public Wi-Fi connection and you navigate to something like <a href="http://www.whatismyip.com/">WhatIsMyIP.com</a> with your proxy turned off, you should see a different IP when you reload the page with your proxy turned on. (Essentially, when turned on, your home’s public IP address should be showing.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Watchdog is an application that monitors the services on your (dv) server for security issues and availability. When Watchdog is running it spawns off several processes that can consume a lot of memory. We have found that running Watchdog can actually cause instabilities with some servers.</p>
<p>It is our recommendation to not use this module. If you need a monitoring solution you may want to look for an off-site option. Our newer servers are not provisioned with watchdog installed. If you have an older server and would like to remove watchdog you can run the following command via ssh as root to remove the watchdog package.</p>
