I want to use it as a sandbox to play with web technologies. But mainly I'd like to be able to set it up to serve a small site, like a splash page for the home network. Like, if the roomie comes home and connects, he'll be redirected to the local site first.
Your first goal (sandbox to play with web tech) seems like something you should embark upon separately.
Your second goal, of hijacking web requests and directing them to your own server seems ill advised.
Every hotel I've been in recently does it. Why not Roger?
ie. When you first try to use the web, most hotel's seem to have a solution that causes their page to come up. Once you register as an approved user, they open it up to the web.
ie. Roger could just have a Welcome page that asks the user to click on something to allow them access to the world!
My issue is it sounds a little advanced for a early experiment. ie. Roger would have to have a web-page that controlled a iptables setup or something.
Greg Maybe it is too advanced indeed. I had a roommate once who had it set up

it's a while ago that i used squid, but i seem to remember you could do things like that, with a set up that requires authorization. if you don't want the auth. part, you can probably leave the password blank. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
