Ubuntu Networking :: Squid Proxy With SOCKS And Ssh - Speed Up The Connection

Jun 16, 2011

I use ssh to port forward my browser(firefox) using SOCKS to a "server"(ubuntu desktop with ssh ) I have in the UK, to watch iplayer etc wen traveling... I forward port 1024 (default port for SOCKS? **mite b untrue..). the "server" is running ubuntu 11.04.

could i set up a transparent proxy(squid) on the "server" in the hope tht it speeds up the connection etc... my thot was get squid to listen on port 1024, or set up the ssh port forwarding to the squid port... would tht work? is the a better/different way to do it? the issue is tht sometimes the ssh connection can b slow at times

Networking :: VNC Connection Through Squid Proxy Server?

Dec 17, 2009

We have two offices suppose A and B. At office A, we use centos 5.3 computer as router and squid proxy server. At office B we use a cisco router to connect to Internet. Computers at office A that has direct access to Internet can access computers behind cisco router at office B using vnc viewer. But computers at office A that can use internet only through squid proxy can't access computers behind cisco router at office B. Is there any way so that I could allow squid clients to access computer behind cisco router at office B using vnc viewer.

Ubuntu Security :: Establishing A SOCKS Proxy Connection At An Internet Cafe

Aug 7, 2011

I've got my netbook set up so that I can run a SOCKS proxy via my desktop machine. This works fine at home, but I'm wondering what happens at an internet cafe with public wifi.

Specifically, the connection needs initially to be set up with an ordinary direct internet connection so that I can log in to the cafe's router. I'm concerned that when I then set the network proxy to SOCKS host, the router will cease to recognise me and will disconnect me. This particular detail doesn't seem to have been covered in any instructions that I've seen (maybe I haven't looked hard enough).

Networking :: Any Way Can Get It Tunneling Over Socks Proxy?

Feb 24, 2010

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?

Ubuntu Networking :: Share A SSH Tunnelled SOCKS Proxy?

Feb 6, 2011

I've opened an SSH Tunnel/SOCKS proxy on my Ubuntu server, which I've tested is working exactly as I had intended. However I'd like to access it from my Windows PC which is on the same home network.

Edit : I should say that I got it working on the server only by

Code:

ssh -D 55555 user@host

However if I tried it with a port, e.g.

Code:

ssh -D 192.168.1.101:55555 user@host

then it doesn't work, not even on the server itself. 192.168.1.101 is the static assigned DNS of my server on the home network.

Networking :: Socks 5 To Bypass Proxy Settings?

Ubuntu Networking :: FreeSSHd - Using Windows PC As Socks Proxy Server

Aug 5, 2010

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].

General :: Convert HTTP Proxy To SOCKS Proxy?

Feb 27, 2010

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.

1. machineB: ssh -L 12345:localhost:12345 user@machineA
2. machineA: ssh -D 12345 user@machineC
3. machineB: configure firefox to use socks proxy, localhost, 12345

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

Ubuntu Servers :: Controlling A Socks Proxy?

Feb 27, 2011

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?

General :: Share A Socks Proxy On LAN?

Jul 6, 2010

I have socks proxy running on port 1080. I want other people on LAN to use this proxy. How can I do that?

One way is that the client can run this command and then use proxy 127.0.0.1:1080 on his computer:

ssh -L 1080:127.0.0.1:1080 myusername@myipaddress

But, I dont want to use ssh because that requires me to give my password to others.

General :: Secure Firefox Traffic (+DNS) Through SOCKS Proxy Under Ubuntu 10.04?

Jun 25, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and starting a SOCKS proxy with 'ssh -D', and setting Ubuntu to use it with "System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy". Firefox uses the proxy, and the proxy's IP appears when I visit a site like [URL]. is Firefox resolving DNS requests through this proxy? Is my web-browsing truly secure? (That is, until I exit the other end of the proxy.

I know it's insecure after that.) (And I've verified the keys, I'm not being man-in-the-middled) (And--screw it. You know what I mean. Is it resolving DNS requests through the proxy?)I don't know how I would go about verifying such a thing for myself.Using additional hardware such as another debugging proxy is not an option. If Firefox isn't resolving my DNS requests through the SOCKS proxy, how do I go about fixing it?

Networking :: Squid As Local Transparent Proxy

Sep 28, 2009

I am trying to set up squid to make switching proxies easier. I have a laptop which I use at work and at home. At work, I need to connect to the internet via a authenticated proxy. At home, I connect directly to via mobile broadband. So I end up switching proxy settings twice daily, which is just irritating! To solve this I want to set up a system whereby I never have to worry about a proxy - my browser sees a direct internet connection which squid (on my computer) intercepts and forwards either to the mobile broadband connection or to the work proxy (along with the required authentication) depending on which is available. I've read various articles on how to do clever things with iptables and squid, but I don't understand enough of the networking jargon or concepts to know when I need to change to make it work in my situation, or if it is even possible.

The default rules in iptables only show up.
