We have a server in my compny which denied all the request to open the site Request denied by the server and shows this message in the bracket (WatchGuard HTTP proxy.
Reason: one or more categories denied helper='WebBlocker.1' details='News'

Method: GET
Host: timesofindia.indiatimes.com
Path: /)
.How can we browse the site without being identified by the server security.

What a way not to answer the question posed.
Instead of giving valid info for how to go about this, you state it is really hard to do and all the potential hardships. I hate this kind of thing ... I find it in a search engine and the very opposite of what you are looking for information about is given.

ultra lame.

You need a Domain Name. Buy one from a reputable company ... and as a precaution, make sure that company has a nameserver that can point to your ip address.

dyndns.com is a good option. do not buy from google, although reputable, in this one area it is a pain in the neck to get things transferred.

it is easier to use an all in one web hosting solution, but there are a ton of reasons that make hosting your own server worth while. THAT EDUCATION is one of those reasons.

Ubuntu makes a server and is free... linux is a good solid option in general, unless you are doing something with ASP... then you need to spend the cash on a Windows solution.

I static ip and I have tried to follow your instruction but still not able to configure it as a live server..

Have configured lan IP , configured router too...
Please help me to configure live server
