Im trying to use a SSH tunnel for games, website browsing etc. I'm trying
ssh -L 8080:runescape.com:80 ****@*****.serveftp.com
Problem is, when I reach localhost:8080
, it says "Service unavailable".
I also tried http://whatismyip.com and http://iplocation.net, with almost same result. I'm curious how it works (with -D
parameter, I managed to change ip to my home server's IP).
Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if -L
tunnelling sites etc. is simply not allowed.
