Ubuntu Servers :: Setup SOCKS5 Proxy - Cannot Find A Way To Get A SOCKS Server Up And Running On VPS

Mar 30, 2010

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?

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.

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?

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

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.

Ubuntu Servers :: How To Setup Web Proxy

Jan 16, 2011

I've got LAMP up and working and I'm currently hosting a joomla install on the server. I was wondering if there's an easy way to get a web proxy working on my site. I'd like to be able to use it just like you would at hidemyass.com. By simply supplying a url it'll provide the proxy services for me. I've looked through joomla's extensions library and don't see any extensions that'd provide that functionality. I was hoping that there'd just be some prepackaged web proxy application I could install.

Anyone out there know of any simple way of getting this up and running. I've looked at Squid but that looks like it's primarily a proxy server intended for internal network users. I didn't see any sort of web proxy feature to install on a web server there.

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.

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?

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).

Ubuntu Servers :: Port Forwarding Setup Using IPTables - Transparent Proxy

May 13, 2010

I'm new to linux, but enjoy using it very much, especially without a GUI, console is fun! I need to set up port forwarding. We have 3 servers, 1x running Ubuntu server 8.04 (used as transparent proxy), 1x server 2003, 1x windows xp.

The linux box has the following ips:
eth0 (internal) 192.168.1.5
eth1 (external) 192.168.0.7

Windows server 2003:
192.168.1.6

Windows XP:
192.168.1.9

Router:
192.168.0.1

The router automatically forwards specific ports to 196.168.0.7 (Linux eth0). From there I want to forward port 8585 to 192.168.1.6 and 3000 to 192.168.1.9. Is there a way that I can do this using iptables?

The commands that I think I'm gonna use look like this:
iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 -p tcp --dport 8585 -d 192.168.1.6 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 -p tcp --dport 3000 -d 192.168.1.9 -j ACCEPT

Would this be a correct way of doing it? My biggest problem is that I can't test it without going live, and if I go live and something doesn't work, the entire building will be left without internet, people will hate me. Also, The proxy captures all data on port 80 and forwards it to 3128 so that the proxy can monitor the usage, and a few systems runs fine with it, others however can ping websites, and internet explorer says "website found, waiting for reply" but the webpages cannot be displayed.
