jcombs_31 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 what happend, you get busted? I use a tunnel sometimes when needed. The filters here block just about everything which can be counterproductive sometimes.

makeshift_theory Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 I tried to setup a tunnel to my home pc, I used putty and setup Local port 6667 and destination [ip]:6667 and got the error.

steviewdr Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Putty can use most company proxies, socks etc. Setup correctly - and it should be fine.There is also another method whereby you can use iptables to Forward port 22 to 443 on your local server, and then access via https. ( http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Iptables_Firewall#Port_Forwarding_.26_NAT_-_Network_Address_Translation_-_V.Basic: )And where there is really facist http only firewalls, I use ajaxterm to access my linux server via http.http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Ajaxterm-steve Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36334-why-you-shouldnt-tunnel-at-work/#findComment-172833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshift_theory Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well I know I have access to port 22 I use it daily, so I don't think I need to use 443. Maybe I was wrong, do I have to setup the proxy from within MIRC as well? Or just forward the request straight to localhost:6667?

jcombs_31 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 what are you trying to do with the tunnel? What is running on port 6667? I Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36334-why-you-shouldnt-tunnel-at-work/#findComment-172853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshift_theory Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Through putty I went to Tunneling then setup local port to 6667 and destination to [my-home-ip]:6667.

steviewdr Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Well 6667 is irc - and thats a definate suspect port to use IMO. Its specifically blocked by some ISPs. If its irc you want - then look into ircs which runs over 9999.If you use a completely random local port - 4321 or something - it shouldn't get noticed as quick.Also - if you have port 22 access - you can do quite a bit.Also - if they are getting suspicious - running ssh over 443 would throw them off the scent quicker.-steve Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36334-why-you-shouldnt-tunnel-at-work/#findComment-172864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshift_theory Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 so I should run local port 4321 and then destination [mysite]:6667? and then use 127.0.0.1:4321 in irc?

steviewdr Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Exactly.Or....hummmm....are you doing it right? In putty:Source Port: 4321Destination: localhost:6667Click Add.Note: the localhost:6667 is for the box you are ssh'ing into. If you are sshing into your box at home over 22 - thats fine. If you are using a middle-man-server, then it would be:Source Port: 4321Destination: yourhomip:6667Obviously - if you use a middle-man-server in your company - it stands out more.-steve Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36334-why-you-shouldnt-tunnel-at-work/#findComment-172878 Share on other sites More sharing options...

makeshift_theory Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Would I need to make sure port 6667 is open on TCP on my home router right?

Daniel0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yes. You need to open port 6667 in your router. Make it forward it to your computer.

makeshift_theory Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 I finally got into irc.freenode.net ;D I went to Borders after work and did some researching and ended up buying SSH "The Definitive Guide" so that helped.
