Server :: Server Setup Using Ubuntu For SSH Account Hosting For Socks Proxy?
Mar 21, 2010
I have a few friends that have seen me bypass firewalls with a socks proxy (SSH). I explained on how it works and how secure it is for browsing the Internet and checking your email in public places. I had at least 6 asked me if I could set up an account on my server for them and they would pay me! Now what I wanted to know was how I can set this up in a server and website where they can register an account and pay me through PayPal! I don't need help setting up the site! Just on how to set up the server to automate this. What tools are needed (ex. ISPConfig, jailkit.... stuff like that?) I don't mind doing this manually but if I get more people that would like this I don't really want to do every single one.
I have an interesting situation. I'd like to use bittorrent for legitimate purposes (mainly linux distro based) but the powers that be have blocked access to bittorrent at my university. I have an ubuntu VPS that I use for odds and ends and was thinking that I could setup a SOCKS5 server on it. That way, I can input the SOCKS5 info directly into the proxy section of my local bittorrent application (Transmission 1.92 running on snow leopard) and be good to go. The problem, however, is that I cannot find a way to get a SOCKS server up and running on my VPS. I've heard that ssh can be used as a simple SOCKS server, but I've also heard that i may need to install a more complete SOCKS server such as dante. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Scenario:A - Local Unix machineB - socks proxy server port 1080C - remote mysql server port 3306I want to connect to the remote mysql server(C) from local unix machine(A) using sock proxy(B).
I'd like to use ssh as a proxy/socks server and redirect all connections through this proxy. It would look like : ssh -D 123 -N host iptables ... I've never used iptables before and I did not manage to find any useful for this particular case solutions on the internet. So, what's the good way to do that ?
I downloaded freeSSHd [URL] on my Windows XP SP3 PC and configured the firewall to allow port 22. My grander scheme is to use this Windows PC as a SOCKS proxy server, that I can connect to at school to circumvent internet filtering and keep my data private. Does anyone know of a way that I could somehow get every internet-connected-program/service (chats, email, browsers, etc) to use this encrypted connection without having to configure every program individually? I think this link is on to something, but I'm not certain what he's getting at [URL].
i am trying to install nedit editor on my account on a web hosting server. I have downloaded the nedit tar file from Index of /ftp/v5_5/executables and ran the command tar -zcvf nedit-5.5-Linux-x86.tar. The files have been unzipped successfully. In the README file it is asking for to do a make to complete the installation.
From this point on i am lost and not sure i to do the rest. I know that i need to do a make, but running just make requires a target. I am not sure what should be my target to finish the installation of nedit. Here is a list of files as a result of un-tarring my tar file:
We currently have a SUSE Apache2 reverse proxy server setup to reverse proxy (proxy_mod) our GroupWise Web Access server. Our SUSE box is located at www.domain.com. Our GroupWise Web Access server is located internally and is called GWMail. We are in the process of migrating from Novell to Windows, so we will have an exchange server with OWA access running on a Windows Server 2008 IIS7 box. That one will be called EXMail internally. Right now when someone goes to www.domain.com/gw/webacc it goes to the GWMail internal server from the outside world. This was all set up by previous techs who used Linux more.
We would like to set up reverse proxy to be able to reverse proxy to the Exchange Server from the outside world. Unfortunately the snag we are running into is that Exchange needs to run on port 443, and forwarding to port 443 has been a little tricky. I've read elsewhere we need to implement a generic TCP proxy, such as IPtables. what we need to do to get our SUSU Apache2 server to be able to reverse proxy to our Exchange server on port 443. For the save of argument lets call our SUSE server ExtranetServer. Below is our default-configuration.conf file's configuration:
I have designed name based virtual hosting in apache. as of now,I am able to access website using IP also. which is I am looking to block, only can access by the name
I've been doing some security testing in a lab environment that does not have direct internet access. It's actually a little complicated: From home to connect to my lab machine, I
1. SSH to machineA. 2. SSH from machineA to machineB
where machineB is my actual lab machine. neither machineA or machineB allow anything other than SSH, and machineB is only accessible from machineA. However, I really need to run yum on machineB. I have managed to get internet access via Firefox on machineB by creating a series of SOCKS proxy via SSH.
where machineC has internet without limits placed. This is the only way I have managed to get internet working. I tried using ssh -L all the way from machineB->machineA->machineC but it didn't work (even when setting Firefox to use http proxy). I tried using ssh -D all the way, but again that doesn't work either.
I do have access via Firefox using socks proxy. However, yum update fails to retrieve mirror list, and from what I have found I don't believe yum supports socks proxy directly. Instead, it uses http_proxy / ftp_proxy. how to get yum to go out over the SOCKS proxy I created (same one using in Firefox)? It seems like since Firefox can access the internet and everything without issues, i should be able to get yum to tunnel through the same connection to access everything.... I tried
My ISP seems to be having some configuration problems cos of which I cant download certain files (mostly exe and msi and some rpm files) as the download either doesnt start (firefox download window showing "Starting..." all the time) or download gets stuck at some point of time.
However I have access to my college computer through SSH using public key authentication and my college computer has internet access 24x7. I would like to be helped with 2 things: How do I use the internet through my college computer? Like when I use the internet, the requests go through my college computer so it must appear that the requests come from my college computer IP while I use firefox from my home computer How do I configure yum to download packages through my college computer? I want to setup yum to use the IP of my college computer to download the packages.
I have a simple issue that I think can be solved with several different methods. I basically want to create a personal server solution that allows me to do two things:
1.) I want to be able to remotely backup data to my server.
2.) I want to be able to pass traffic through it and use it as a proxy.
I am off to college next year and I want to leave a computer/server back home to do the two things stated above. I was thinking of using an Asus Eee Box PC like this:url
I want a low power reliable machine that will only be used as a remote solution. I won't be hooking up a monitor to it (that is, after I set it up).
It will be on 24/7 for easy access.
I will be accessing this server from a Windows 7 based machine.
I do not mind at all installing Linux on my server, but I am not an experienced coder so I will need software with a GUI that can help me set this all up.
how do i able to allow some users that are able to create content in directory of http server. For example: i have configured a web server which have default document root /var/www/html, now i want to extend my web server through virtual hosting , i have enable virtual hosting, but i want that user sumit is able to create content in /var/www/html/secret. which is the document root for my virtual site?
I currently have my server setup with a web page and ssh. I am looking to find a way to access the internet from my work computer, but all proxies that I can find have been blacklisted...I can however access my home server webpage. Is it possible to create my own proxy so I can surf from my work laptop?
i was tasked to setup a proxy server to block access to some websites. i'm using centOS 5 and Squid 7:2.6 STABLE21-6.e15...i appended the following and tested the configuration with the supposed server i am using and the it does seem to work but now i'm wondering how i can test it with a client computer..i have 2 LAN cards and i just connected the other to one PC (can a direct connection work or does it need to pass thru a switch or hub)...i just can't figure out how it should be... how do i configure the 2nd LAN card to use this computer as its proxy server?
I want to settup a proxy server who just redirect the internet connection to my second computer. I try Squid Proxy but its too complicated for me. Can you sugest me another more simple program to do what i want?
I'm using a Debian box as a gateway. I'm planning on bridging my DLink 604T modem/router so that traffic on the LAN goes to my gateway (which only has one NIC). The Debian box is running a PPPoe application which I'm hoping to log into the ISP through the DLink. I plan to configure the box as a squid transparent proxy. Most Howtos I've seen use NAT with 2 NICs, eth0 for the LAN and eth1 for the Internet. Any step-through to set up NAT for this?
That program is recommend by author of foxyproxy extension for firefox,so i installed and connection to socks5 works fine,but i want to set username and password as well,and that for some reason doesn't work.Does antinat support that at all or is that just for local users?Also i tried ss5 socks server which works fine with username and pass but for some reason foxyproxy extension not working with it(on logs i see ERROR IS CONNECT).So basically i need socks 5 server program with username and pass support and it need to work with foxyproxy extension as client.
i have been interested in starting up a website of my own, but i want to host it on my own personal server. unfortunately i have absolutely no experience with servers, and i dont even know where to begin.i have done some reading up and i think my choice will be a LAMP server.now to the question, lets assume that i know nothing but html, css, JS, etc. where would be the best place to start learning about servers, how to operate within a server, and the such? and which ubuntu server OS would be the best choice? i will also post my email address for an alternate method of communication.
I'm trying to pass multiple dpmains thru one ubuntu server to various hosts on my local network.
[url] should be sent to the /var/www folder on the local host.
[url] should be forwarded to an IIS box on my local network (owa.nunya.local)
[url] should be sent to another ubunto box on my local network (smtp.biznet.net)
I have tried placing VirtualHost entries in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and [url]and [url] both work but [url] gets forwarded to the c:inetpub folder on the IIS box.
I will be relocating to a permanent residence sometime in the next year or two. I've recently begun thinking about the best way to implement a home-based network. It occurred to me that the most elegant solution might be the use of VM technology to eliminate as much hardware and wiring as possible.My thinking is this: Install a multi-core system and configure it to run several VMs, one each for a firewall, a caching proxy server, a mail server, a web server. Additionally, I would like to run 2-4 VMs as remote (RDP)workstations, using diskless workstations to boot the VMs over powerline ethernet.The latest powerline technology (available later this year) will allow multiple devices on a residential circuit operating at near gigabit speed, just like legacy wired networks.
In theory, the above would allow me to consolidate everything but the disklessworkstations on a single server and eliminate all wired (and wireless) connections except the broadband connection to the Internet and the cabling to the nearest power outlets. It appears technically possible, but I'm not sure about the various virtual connections among VMs. In theory, each VM should be able to communicate with the other as if it was on the same network via the server data bus, but what about setting up firewall zones? Any internal I/O bandwidth bottlenecks? Any other potential "gotchas", caveats, issues? (Other than the obvious requirement of having enough CPU and RAM).Any thoughts or observations welcome, especially if they are from real world experience in a VM environment. BTW--in case you're wondering why I'm posting here, it's because I run Debian on all my workstations/servers (running VirtualBox as a VM for Windows XP on one workstation).
I have my desktop set up as a SOCKS proxy, and not only me uses it, some friends do too.What I would like to know is how to check every now and again what they are using it for... for example the agreement we have is that they only use it to watch BBC iplayer and 4OD etc while they are abroad. What I dont want is them to pointlessly use it for other browsing.I trust my friends wont, but is there also a way of checking they arent using my connection to download illegal torrents?I guess best case scenrio would be to be able to whitelist only a few sites per user request. Is this possible?
I've two internet based server ( xx.xx.xx.xx and yy.yy.yy.yy ) The Y server is running VNC server and is responsible for answering to VNC sessions. But I need to hide the IP of Y server so I want X server to be as VNC Proxy and redirect all VNC sessions to Y server.
I guess the best way is to use iptables but actually I can't get it working so
I have been ssh tunneling, which works great.I can browse the internet by simply tunneling my traffic through my SSH server.the following command: ssh -ND 9999 username at myserver.i cant postlinks.is all I have type, and I can connect to a SOCKS proxy server on localhost:9999.My problem is that I have an application that only supports HTTP proxies.Is there any way I can get it tunneling over the socks proxy?
I want to generate my own socks 5 proxy not for lan but for my use on internet I want to access that proxy from any pc and any connection. Like proxy supplied by atomintersoft.com or xroxy.com i want to create my own 300 socks 5 proxy. I can have dedicated server if required to do so.
1)tell me steps to create my own socks5 proxy.What are general system requirement.
2)Which Distro will be best for this purpose.I am new here and dont have idea about linux but can grasp everything faster than u!
