    How-to use your ssh server access to bypass firewall block sites

    This is just a reminder for myself. I have post this How-to at the BolehVPN Forum , however they have restricted the access. So I post this again on my blog.

    In order to use this tutorial , you must have meet the requirement below.

    1. SSH access on any public server ( I use BolehBox account )
    2. SSH client (putty on windows)

    Here are the steps

    1. Open notepad.exe
    2. type this without the qoute
    “putty -D 8080 -P 22 -ssh server52180.uk2net.com”
    3. save as sshtunnel.bat and save it to your desktop.
    4. now double click the “sshtunnel.bat” and key-in your username/password.
    5. Leave the window open.
    6. Open your firefox browser. Goto menu Tools->Options->Advanced
    7. On the Network tab, click Settings, and type this in your Socks field
    “127.0.0.1” and port “8080”

    Now test your connection and type url that mught be block by your ISP, school, cyber cafe.

    Have fun!!
