ssh -D is your friend!
TweetAre you stuck behind a firewall?
Does your work block access to facebook?
Do you want to watch English Telly from abroad?
SSH -D is your friend.
All you need to bypass the firewall;
- ssh access to a VPS
- ssh -D8080 me@myserver.com // keep this open
- go to your browser
- set “connect via SOCKS proxy” on port 8080
- keep the ssh connection open
- voila!
Your internet access is now piped via your VPS.
This means;
- if it is in the UK you can access iPlayer
- if it is in the US you can access Hulu
- if you were in China you can access… everything
Boom ting!
