How to Install Tinyproxy on NetBSD

Tinyproxy is a small and fast HTTP/HTTPS proxy server that is designed to run on Unix-like systems such as NetBSD. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Tinyproxy on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation, you will need the following:

A machine running NetBSD
A user account with sudo privileges
An active internet connection

Step 1 - Install Tinyproxy

To install Tinyproxy on NetBSD, follow these steps:

Log in to your NetBSD machine with a user account that has sudo privileges.
Open a terminal window and run the following command to update the package database:
```
sudo pkgin update
```
Then, run the following command to install Tinyproxy:
```
sudo pkgin install tinyproxy
```
Wait for the installation to complete.

Step 2 - Configure Tinyproxy

After installing Tinyproxy, you need to configure it to suit your needs. The configuration file for Tinyproxy is located at /usr/pkg/etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf.

Open the configuration file using your preferred text editor:
```
sudo vi /usr/pkg/etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf
```
Make the necessary changes to the configuration file. For example, you can change the port number, enable/disable the logging, and whitelist/blacklist certain addresses using the following parameters:
```
Port                 <port number>
LogLevel             <level>
Allow               <source IP range>
Deny                <source IP range>
```
Save the changes and exit the editor.

Step 3 - Start and Enable Tinyproxy

Once you have configured the Tinyproxy server, you need to start and enable it.

Run the following command to start the Tinyproxy service:
```
sudo /etc/rc.d/tinyproxy start
```
To ensure that Tinyproxy starts automatically at boot time, run the following command:
```
sudo /etc/rc.d/tinyproxy enable
```
