Doesn’t work for me. I’m inside a corporate network. When I type in the URL to my personal website in firefox, it get’s redirected to a whacky URL with the domain name in the URL twice. Have you thought about posting the code and open-sourcing this app? I would be happy to help discover and fix this type of problem.

So bad you don’t give access to the port number at the other side of the tunnel: my server doesn’t run on port 80!

Great tool. Doesn’t throttle the upload though, and that was what I needed!!

Hi,

I got the tool working but when I run a WordPress site through WAMP it looks like the proxy gets mixed up with the IP. it calls the IP twice and adds http/ in between eg. localhost/mysite/http/localhost/mysite/

I set up a fresh db and WP install and the URL rewrite works but the same problem happens when I try to go to the new installations back-end.

Any ideas?

I’m not experienced in networking so I’m working on my gut instinct

PS. Thanks for the tool

Hi, I noticed that is routed http traffic alright. But it was messig up routing https traffic. Only http traffic is working fine. On FF 8 after setting proxy for all types of traffic to go through the throttler, I got the following error: The proxy server is refusing connections Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.

This tool seems really excellent. However, I was not able to see any change in speed, even though I followed your instructions. This is on Windwos 7
