freeSSHd was set up on the server. Putty successfully connecting to server over SSH. I have tried to configure tunneling for SOCKS5 and HTTP but it failed to work. Especially was tested on Opera where proxy was set to 127.0.0.1
and port 1080
.
I am trying to set up SOCKS5 proxy/tunneling in putty that way: Connection>SSH>Tunnels
there I set:
Source port
1080
Destination
127.0.0.1
Dynamic
IPv4
Why SOCKS5 proxy tunneling is not working?
UPDATE:
Firefox writes "The proxy server is refusing connections"
UPDATE2:
Set up all the same but left blank Destination
.
Firefox messages:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
UPDATE 3
Firefox refuses to connect to google.com
with error : The connection was reset
. Opera is not working. (it appeased to work when it reseted proxy config)
UPDATE 4
How putty deals with network connections? In this cmd at some times there was TCP 127.0.0.1:1080 LISTENING
. What are the rest 2 TCP connections with 1080 port?
CLIENT CMD:
UPDATE 5:
freeSSHd config on server:
UPDATE 6:
I made Deluge
torrent client successfully function over SSH tunnel (using SOCKS5)! Internet browsers still being stubborn and not connecting to web (neither SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy settings is working).
