Portable Proxy Server ?

Submitted by RossGoodman on February 3, 2006 - 6:04am

Does such a thing exist?

Two apps I always use are Portable Firefox and Portable ThunderBird, both of which have switchproxy addins so on the whole I'm happy.

Every other tool I use I have to remember to change the proxy settings when I visit a new customer.

If I had a portable proxy server I could point all of my apps at it and then forget about them. When I changed customers I would just have to configure "my" proxy server and hey presto.

Is this possible/feasable ?

Anybody have an Open Source Flash Animation maker? I've got some non-portable apps that can generate flash presentations (Powerbullet) and screencams (Wink, CamStudio).
Anything out there that can be used to make or convert small animations to flash?

i would like to see crimson editor on here. although its easy to just install it from the flash drive it would be nice to not have to install it then uninstall it after finishing working with it

Portable Hamachi

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 30, 2006 - 10:51pm

I like to use Hamachi for my VPN needs (for connecting "securely" to VNC sessions, monitoring client uptime, etc). It doesn't appear that the application (still in beta) needs much, if any, modification in order to run portably. Being able to carry around a self-configuring VPN connection in my pocket would be great for finnicky NAT or Firewall.
