Thank you Dave for your help, I might consider OpenSSH or Squid very soon but now I feel that I&#39;m very close to get this done. <br>I thought that the problem was that the blocked website gets its content transparently from a sub-domain but I found this to be incorrect, right now I am able to access any website through the configuration I&#39;ve previously posted EXCEPT the website of my interest.
<br><br>I mean when I do:<br><br>----------------------------------<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Service<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; backend<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; address <a href="http://somedomain.com">somedomain.com</a> ## any domain you can imagine<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; port&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 80
<br>---------------------------------<br><br>I can successfully access and surf the content of that domain with no problems at all (including domains blocked by the government) . The problem is with the specific website I need to reach, in Firefox I get the following message:
<br><br>&quot;<br>The page isn&#39;t redirecting properly<br><br>Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *&nbsp;&nbsp; This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cookies.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  <br>&quot;<br><br>The question now is: Does pound refuses cookies coming from backends? If so, why can I access any other website through the same configuration? How can I get Pound to accept cookies coming from that website? Or do you think that this problem has nothing to do with cookies at all? So what is it?
<br><br>This problem is driving me crazy :( all websites in the world can be accessed and successfully served by my server except the website I need. Any idea about the Firefox message?<br><br>Regards <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

&gt; Can this be done using Pound? Or should I look for solutions like Squid or<br>&gt; Apache&#39;s mod_proxy?<br><br>Something like Squid or a socks proxy is going to work better.&nbsp;&nbsp;OpenSSH<br>has a dynamic forwarding proxy that should fit the bill as well, and its
<br>probably the easiest for you to use privately.&nbsp;&nbsp;Look at the &#39;-D&#39; option<br>in recent releases.<br><br>Regards,<br>--<br>Dave Steinberg<br><a href="http://www.geekisp.com/">http://www.geekisp.com/</a><br><a href="http://www.steinbergcomputing.com/">
