Added 'standalone-mode'. This will make proxytunnel an even more versatile tool, allowing it to be used virtually anywhere and anytime. Idea by Maniac, Code from The Muppet Started work on some more changes (not working yet) - Not forking to background in standalone mode - Reading options from .proxytunnel file, to make commandline work easier and faster git-svn-id: https://proxytunnel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/proxytunnel/trunk/proxytunnel@18 bc163920-b10d-0410-b2c5-a5491ca2ceef

Hi all,
|
|
|
|
This is proxytunnel, a program that connects stdin and stdout
|
|
to an origin server somewhere in the Internet through an industry
|
|
standard HTTPS proxy. I originally wrote this program to be used
|
|
as an extension to SSH, to be able to SSH to my box at home. In
|
|
this file, I will describe the use with SSH. If you want to use it
|
|
with some other application, feel free, and let me know!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
Proxytunnel is very easy to use, when running proxytunnel with the help
|
|
option it specifies it's command-line options.
|
|
|
|
$ ./proxytunnel --help

|
Proxytunnel 1.0.7
|
|
Jos Visser (Muppet) <josv@osp.nl>, Mark Janssen (Maniac) <maniac@maniac.nl>
|
|
|
|
Purpose:
|
|
Build generic tunnels trough HTTPS proxy's, supports HTTP authorization
|
|
|
|
Usage: Proxytunnel [OPTIONS]...
|
|
-h --help Print help and exit
|
|
-V --version Print version and exit
|
|
-i --inetd Run from inetd (default=off)
|
|
-u STRING --user=STRING Username to send to HTTPS proxy for auth
|
|
-s STRING --pass=STRING Password to send to HTTPS proxy for auth
|
|
-g STRING --proxyhost=STRING HTTPS Proxy host to connect to
|
|
-G INT --proxyport=INT HTTPS Proxy portnumber to connect to
|
|
-d STRING --desthost=STRING Destination host to built the tunnel to
|
|
-D INT --destport=INT Destination portnumber to built the tunnel to
|
|
-n --dottedquad Convert destination hostname to dotted quad
|
|
-v --verbose Turn on verbosity (default=off)
|
|
-q --quiet Suppress messages (default=off)
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use this program with OpenSSH to connect to a host somewhere, create
|
|
a $HOME/.ssh/config file with the following content:
|
|
|
|
Host foobar
|
|
ProtocolKeepAlives 30
|
|
ProxyCommand /path/to/proxytunnel -g proxy.customer.com -G 8080 -u user
|
|
-s password -d mybox.athome.nl -D 443
|
|
|
|
With:
|
|
|
|
- foobar The symbolic name of the host you want to connect to
|
|
- proxy.customer.com The host name of the proxy you want to connect through
|
|
- 8080 The port number where the proxy software listens to
|
|
- user Your proxy userid
|
|
- password Your proxy password
|
|
- mybox.athome.nl The hostname of the box you want to connect to (ultimately)
|
|
- 443 The port number of the SSH daemon on mybox.athome.nl
|
|
|
|
If your proxy doesn't require the username and password for using it,
|
|
you can skip these options.
|
|
|
|
If you want to run proxytunnel from inetd add the '--inetd' option.
|
|
|
|
If you have a broken proxy and use a destination host with dynamic DNS,
|
|
add the -n or --dottedquad, the DNS name will then be resolved locally
|
|
before sending it to the proxy. (Original patch from Ralph Loader
|
|
<suckfish@ihug.co.nz>)
|
|
|
|
Most HTTPS proxies do not allow access to ports other than 443 (HTTPS)
|
|
and 563 (SNEWS), so some hacking is necessary to start the SSH daemon on
|
|
the required port. (On the server side add an extra Port statement in
|
|
the sshd_config file)
|
|
|
|
When all this is in place, execute an "ssh foobar" and you're in business!
|
|
|
|
Share and Enjoy!
