SOCKS Proxy Tunneling (All Traffic)

yogevmi · 08-23-2012, 09:38 AM

Helo everybody,
I need a good way to work with ssh tunneling that will tunnel all my traffic and not only traffic from the browser or specific port.

i am not asking how to make ssh tunneling i just ask how to make it for all the traffic.

on windows i used a tool called proxifier a great tool but untill now i didnt find a good solution for linux, please advice..

Thanks
Yogev.

Hey byannoni
Thanks for the reply, i just checked your suggestion (privoxy) and i saw that you can config it only from the browser but like i said i want all the traffic not just from the browser.. i want that every program\command that i use will work from the tunnel like proxifier on windows.

Sorry, I didn't realize that it was limited in that way. I assume you could use iptables, but there is probably an easier way.

There is also tool called proxychains (http://proxychains.sourceforge.net/)
that can do the job but the limitation is that its not automated for any program that you run you need to start every program from it like this example:
bash$ proxychains telnet targethost.com

so the problem is that if you want to hide your self for all your traffic throw the tunnel you probably will make some mistakes and not all the time run the program from it... i must to find tool like proxifier for linux its awesome tool!!

Try my tun2socks proxifier. It implements a TUN virtual network interface that forwards all incoming TCP(v4) connections to a SOCKS5 server. That wiki page explains exactly what you need (SSH dynamic forwarding).
