Hi,

I have a SSH tunnel from my Windows machine using Bitvise Tunneliser, to my remote FC4 VPS. I can browse the net with the FC4 VPS's public IP address no problem when I set the browsers to socks 127.0.0.1 port 1080.

However is it possible to use other apps say DC++ and use the FC4 VPS IP address,

Thus being a secure link between the windows machine and the VPS ??

I have tried setting up DC++ connection settings but I am not sure which remote / local port to forward and what destinations.... ??? Also whether to use client-to-server or server-2-client port forwarding, all gets a bit complicated.

Thanks for your help.

i use the same method to connect to the dc hub. i.e using socks 127.0.0.1:1080 but the problem is that i cant search or download file lists etc. in this way.

Alternately you could connect to hub by client-to-server forwarding. eg. use 411 port of local machine and forward it to the 411 port of the dc hub. after doing this, put the hub address as 127.0.0.1. and you could again be able to connect to the hub.

These are the two ways i can use to connect to the hub but i have the same problem in both scenario. i cant use the search or download feature. there might be some more port forwardings required which i dont know right now.
