Hi,

During a few days, I'm tring to get this working but nothing (I'm not sure if it is working).

My scenario:
workstation - IP 192.168.1.2
server - IP 172.0.0.2

Server it is a Linux S.O and it is behind a firewall that block any type of download (apt-get, yum, wget, etc)

My workstation it is a windows S.O and i'm thinking any way to via putty for example provides download to the server.

I thinked about configure an proxy in my server in soomeone port and via putty open tunneling this port, but my machine needed to be configured with any proxyserver and this is not the case.

Anybody have another idea to do this? Via SSH provides download to werver firewalled.

Thks!

The basic syntax for setting up an ssh socks proxy is:
Replacing <port> with the local port you want to use, and replacing user and IP with the IP of the server you want to tunnel traffic through and your username on that server.

So in your case, you should be able to run, for example:
and then configure your web browser/wget/etc to use localhost:11111 for the proxy. All web traffic will be redirected through 172.0.0.2, which means if you want to access 172.0.0.2 itself, you would use a web address of 127.0.0.1/localhost.

This should work fine through a browser, but configuring command line tools to use this socks proxy may be a little more complicated. I found this promising page while searching for it:

Not sure I understand the question. Does the OP want to use the windows computer to proxy a wan connection via some tunnel to the linux server?
