Can I hide the ip address and port of my sshd connection?
Hi
When using lsof -i on my server, I can can get the IP address and port number of a clients ssh connection. Is there a way that the client could avoid giving up this information without using proxies? |
Not really. How would your ssh server know where to send the packets that make up its half of the connection if it didn't know the IP and port from which the client was connecting?

You're not considering Tor a proxy?

Tor won't hide it. It will obfuscate it. If you did this from a workplace environment, it would stand out. We usually watch for all Tor and even SSH connections, even on non-standard ports. Tor is an anonymizer, but it won't hide any service ports. You can't hide any service ports that you want open to client software, but you can harden them. There's a forum sticky on hardening the SSH service at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...tempts-340366/. and be careful, because most corporate policy frown upon using SSH to connect out of their networks. Some even terminate people for doing this. It is much harder to hide than you think (I've tried and been reported). For some people, this may not hinder them, but in the US economy, this is a bad time to be getting fired.
Just my 2 cents. |

Evidently I skipped over that prerequisite.
CoffeeKing!!!, is there a particular reason you need to avoid using a proxy? Tor is specifically designed to do what you want. |
