I'm using Windows 7 over my 'restricted' campus network.
I use Heroku Toolbelt to work with heroku projects, which inturn uses git and ssh on port 22.
However, port 22 is blocked in my campus. Can i use a SOCKS proxy like Tor to tunel my ssh and use it properly.
Thanks.
PS: I'm using Windows

2Raise a complaint with the IT helpdesk. Blocking port 22 is completely unacceptable. Also, Tor isn't a SOCKS proxy.– Daniel BFeb 24, 2014 at 18:41

Can you change the port from 22, as for example in this answer?– harrymcFeb 25, 2014 at 13:39

Well, i could solve the problem of ssh using Putty, by setting it a SOCKS Proxy on 127.0.0.1:9150.– Vikas RaturiFeb 26, 2014 at 9:52

@danielb, actually, Tor is a SOCKS proxy– heavydJan 14, 2015 at 8:24

@heavyd Just because it uses SOCKS to allow clients to connect doesn’t make it a SOCKS proxy. Tor is much more, which is not helping in this case.– Daniel BJan 14, 2015 at 8:28

I have similar problem and I found this post: http://cms-sw.github.io/tutorial-proxy.html#infrastructure
While I could not find the version of netcat for windows that supports -x option, I found the alternative program ncat.
So,
- Install ncat
Edit the config file for ssh, usually found at
%HOME%\.ssh\config:Host hostToYourRepo ProxyCommand ncat --proxy hostToYourProxy:1080 %h %p- Enjoy
PS. Options for ncat: https://nmap.org/book/ncat-man-options-summary.html
use ncat, but you should set the proxy type like the following:
ProxyCommand ncat --proxy-type socks5 --proxy 127.0.0.1:1080 %h %p
ProxyCommand "e:/sdk/git/mingw64/bin/connect.exe" -S 127.0.0.1:1080 %h %p
you can try connect.exe if you have git installed
For the strict use case of using Git, you can use http/https Git URIs. Git supports proxy settings including authentication.
I'm not sure if Heroku Toolbelt requires ssh though.
