Hi, I was hoping to get some help setting up Apache as a forward proxy, primarily just to know how it's done and for learning. I've found countless examples that look a lot like this:

<IfModule mod_proxy>
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On
<Proxy *>
  Allow from all
</Proxy>

But I'm not sure what to do with that information. What happens in the rest of the conf file? Do I just append it to the bottom and activate all the proxy modules? And if so, why isn't working when I try it with Firefox?

Thanks
