Web Browser for VPS ?
Do you know any web browser, script, or application to navigate the web from my VPS?
I only found a PHP script that lets you browse the web from your VPS, but it doesn't handle cookies or forms.
I need it to emulate a web browser, but from my VPS and to be able to navigate the web from my VPS.
Any ideas?

There's basically 3 ways to go about this:
1) You can use your VPS as a proxy server. Install Squid and then point your local PC"s browser to use the proxy gateway.
2) If you need to run the browser off the VPS directly, the only way I know of is to install KDE or Gnome desktop and then remote/VNC desktop into them.
3) You could also install a PHP proxy script available free off the net like GLYPE█ █ █ KiloServe Hosting - 48 Core Nodes and specializing in high disk I/O VPS

KDE or Gnome would be the best choice. both of them can be installed by one click.

install XFCE desktop + tightvnc-server = you're done.
XFCE is one of the most lightweight X Desktop evironments.
Alernativelly you can install just a text web browser like links (or lynx), but it is pretty limited.

my vps support guy suggested doing a tunnel with ssh, but that didn't even work.. for some reason. I dont know why..
I see installing an operating system like you suggest, is too much.. I just want to be able to browse using the vps.. nothing else.
is teamviewer really that hard to install on my VPS server? will it take a lot of resources?

If you only need text, use lynx. It's a text-based browser you can run via ssh.
You can also use an ssh tunnel. Google that for details

Sohmc, thanks for that one, it finally worked using the ssh tunnel. the text browser doesn't work because I need to submit forms and watch images and video. Thanks. Cheers!
