| + | ====== Tunnel through a server ====== | ||
| + | --- // | ||
| + | |||
| + | **PLEASE ONLY DO THIS IF THE VPN CERT IS NOT WORKING/VPN SERVER IS DOWN** | ||
| + | |||
| + | The DNS will not work in local terminals (will work for remote terminals) or in the browser! | ||
| + | |||
| + | The purpose of this is to give pseudo VPN access in Firefox so that Firefox will be able to reach internal server URLs. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are Chrome plugins for this but they can be intermittent and often stop working with Chrome updates. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In Ireland we have Comeragh : 212.17.60.121 | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the US we have Hermes : 65.74.172.42 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Initial Setup with Firefox ===== | ||
| + | - Download and install Firefox if you have not already | ||
| + | - Open Firexfox and in the URL enter `about: | ||
| + | - Accept any warnings if given any | ||
| + | - Look for `network.proxy.socks_version` and set this to be `4` | ||
| + | - Look for `network.proxy.socks` and set this to be `127.0.0.1` | ||
| + | - Look for `network.proxy.socks_port` and set this to be `2001` | ||
| + | - This sets up the ability to tunnel but does not enable it so once this is set up you will not have to do this setup again | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Enable and Testing ===== | ||
| + | - In a terminal ssh to one of the servers `ssh -D 2001 scotty@212.17.60.121` or `ssh -D 2001 scotty@65.74.172.42` - make sure to enter the password or have SSH key set up | ||
| + | - In Firefox google `what is my IP` | ||
| + | - Go to `about: | ||
| + | - Look for `network.proxy.type` and set this to `1` | ||
| + | - Search `what is my IP` again and this time it should be the public IP of the server you SSHed to | ||
| + | - Firefox will not resolve anything if there is no live ssh connection | ||
| + | - To disable this just set `network.proxy.type` to `0` | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== SSH to other servers ===== | ||
| + | - In a terminal : `ssh scotty@212.17.60.121` or `ssh scotty@65.74.172.42` | ||
| + | - From this terminal you should then be able to ssh to whatever other server you need | ||
