Hi,
I would like to ssh into my box at home, but at school we have a really restrictive HTTP proxy. I have permission from the administrator to try to get this working. The local administrator does not control this proxy...
I have tried httptunnel, desproxy and corkscrew with no success.
Running debian on both remote box and local laptop.
VNC would also do - I have not been able to get HTTPTunnel4VNC to work.
at school we have a really restrictive HTTP proxy.
Can you explain that a bit more? What are the restrictions?
If you're saying only outgoing connections to port 80 on servers are allowed, then a very simple solution is to run sshd on port 80 on your home server.
I must be missing something. The proxy server only allows http requests out? And this is not port-specific? So you're saying a request from firefox to http:/www(dot)yahoo(dot)com:550 would work, assuming that server was listening on 550?
If this is all true, I don't have any suggestions for how you can ssh to your box at home.
