That is because we used the -f argument which put the SSH session into the background. Root 14345 0.0 0.0 2462228 452 ? Ss 6:43AM 0:00.00 ssh -D 696 -f -C -q -N can quit your terminal application and the tunnel will stay up. You should see a line in the output like: # ssh -D 696 -f -C -q -N that the tunnel is up and running with this command: I AM A LINUX GEEK (or MAC BOY)! I don’t have a Putty kind of thing, then how?
Enter a new URL in the Firefox address bar and you’ll be browsing from the remote end of the SSH connection. Within the Network Settings dialog, select the Manual proxy configuration radio button and enter the following for the SOCKS Host: and Port:Ĭlick OK on the Settings dialog, then Click OK on the Options dialog. Within the Advanced tab, click on the Network tab and click the Settings button. Launch Firefox, select Tools->Options and click the Advanced tab. Next go back to the session area and save the current configuration as a saved session if you’d like, then Open the SSH connection. That’s all there is to the Putty side of things. You should see a value in the Forwarded ports: list that reads D696. For this example lets use 696, enter this in the source port field and click the Add button. Next under where it reads Add new forwarded port: enter a source port. Next under Connection->SSH->Tunnels find the radio boxes under the Destination field and make sure Dynamic is selected. Open Putty and Enter the hostname or IP of the machine you want to establish a remote connection to.
#Firefox ssh tunnel putty how to#
I figured out how to do it using Putty and Firefox, and this is how you do it. There was a DMZ linux machine that I could SSH to, but no VPN available. Trying text based browsers didn’t work, the only way to access and administer the router was to use a full featured browser from behind the firewall itself. Sometimes you need to configure something on your client office (router/firewall), but the only way to do that was to be on the their internal network and browse to it using a browser.
