Online Gaming with a Proxy and Internet Connection Sharing

Post by 5uhm »

Hi,

i want to play my online games with a foreign country proxy where i already have an IP.
So i have a laptop with Linux Ubuntu and ICS also works fine with wlan to ethernet LAN Interface and with a Crossover to my PS2.

The only question here is how can i teach my Laptop-system to share the internet with a proxy to take it on my ethernet-interface?

thanks for ur help :)

setup routing on your laptop using iptables to forward all internet traffic from the ethernet port back and forth using its own connection settings (through the proxy)

you could also just connect your ps2 directly to the proxy. i'm pretty sure that network configuration tool on the ps2 works with them. and you don't need to use a crossover cable with the ps2; if it's directly connected to your laptop then use a normal ethernet cable. the ps2 is special in that way

if you

open a terminal and type:
sudo su
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -A FORWARD -o wlan0 -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
ifconfig eth0 192.168.99.62 up

that will make it a router (replace 192.168."0".0 with whatever your local is, i.e. 192.168.2.0)

i think the proxy setup on the ps2 would be under "Manual" in "IP Address Setup", but i can't check atm
you'll need to manually set your ps2's ip anyway. set it like this:

IP 192.168.99.63
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.99.255
gateway 192.168.99.62
(proxy stuff)
DNS1 199.195.251.151
DNS2 72.229.137.212

192.168.99.63 = your PS2

you won't need to enter a port number for the dns server
it will ask for a port number and your proxy's ip when you get to proxy settings
