I've been using this for a few weeks now and it works perfectly. The console should then be able to play iplayer direct to your TV over the internet, via your local proxy server and your proxy account. the IP address of the PC and the port the proxy is running on. Once the transparent proxy is working, (test with foxyproxy from firefox), point your consoles internet connection at the proxy server running on the PC/Mac (or NAS) i.e. Its job is to set up a passthrough to your proxy account, I needed it because although the PS3 can be directly pointed at a proxy it cant supply login/password details to the proxy (I'm now just running Squid on my NAS but thats another story). #Find ip address squidman installOnce this is working the next step is to get this working through your TV.įirst you need to install a transparent proxy on your PC, I started out using 'SquidMan' which is a graphical frontend to the Squid proxy.
