make a central proxy access from where it's high speed link available.

Say I have configured a fully optimized squid server A listen on [xxxx:xxxx::xxxx]:3128, within ISP_foo.

But when I was with ISP_bar , I can not access the proxy with full speed due to ISP's limit upon the normal clients among different ISP.

If you are curious where the ridiculous ISPs are, I'll tell you the truth --that's CHINA.

However, servers' network connection is not enslaved to that limitation, especially with IPv6.

So, I can do this socat linefu on a server B of ISP_bar.

me >> B(ISP_bar)>> A(ISP_foo)

Pass the proxy server address as a prefix to wget

On a machine behind a firewall, it's possible to pass the proxy server address in as a prefix to wget to avoid having to set it as an environment variable first.
