Choose the Connections tab->LAN Settings. Or, from within Internet Explorer, go to Tools->Internet Options (there are about 20 other ways too, but I’m not going into that!). From the Control Panel, choose Internet Options. Choose SOCKS v5 (unless you know you don’t have a newer system to connect to!), then OK.įor Internet Explorer (or Google Chrome, which just uses the System Proxy settings anyways), you can access it one of two ways. Use 127.0.0.1 for the host, and whatever port you chose in PuTTY. On the new window that pops up, choose “Manual proxy configuration:”, and only fill in the SOCKS Host section. In Firefox, click the Firefox menu (or press Alt), go to Tools, then Options. You can do it in Firefox natively, or do it as a system wide setting (through Internet Explorer). Essentially, if I move my web browser there, it will look as though the web browser is operating on that network. What this does is forward anything on my local system that tries to connect to the port specified to go to the other side of the tunnel instead. I enter a source port (above 1024), choose Dynamic for the destination, then hit Add. Then, on the left, I go down to Connection-> SSH-> Tunnels. In the main window, I connected as I would any other SSH session, by using the format, on port 22, with SSH. So, I launched PuTTY, and created a tunnel to my home Linux server. I tried clearing my cache, and trying again - No change! Well, I checked my work’s proxy logs to see if it was even hitting my website ( tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log /var/log/squid/cache.log), but its output didn’t show any hits to this blog! I checked my Network Settings in Firefox - Yup, it is set to use the proxy.pac file on our network. But guess what? It wasn’t coming up! All my external tests seemed to work, including Down for Everyone or Just Me, and even Cloudflare! I could still SSH into my server (as I was watching log files scroll by anyways!), so I knew it was up and accessible. So today, I was helping someone with a multi-site WordPress issue, and I linked to my blog.
