SYNOPSISproxytunnel [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the proxytunnel command.
proxytunnel is a program that open a tunnel through a HTTPS proxy.
OPTIONS
This program follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
-h, --help
Print help and exit.
-V, --version
kPrint the version of the program and exit.
-i, --inetd
Run from inetd. Default is off.
-F STRING, --passfile=STRING
The file containing Username & Password to send to HTTPS proxy
for authentification. This file uses the same format as
.wgetrc, and so can use the credentials in common with wget.
This option can be used to at least hide the password from any‐
one clever enough to use the `ps' command.
-p STRING, --proxy=STRING
The HTTPS Proxy host:port combo to connect to.
-P STRING, --proxyauth=STRING
The credentials (user:pass) to use for local HTTP(S) proxy
authentication.
-d STRING, --dest=STRING
The destination host:port to built the tunnel to.
-r STRING, --remproxy=STRING
The second-level proxy host:port to connect to.
-R STRING, --remproxyauth=STRING
The credentials (user:pass) to use for remote HTTP(S) proxy
authentication.
-v, --verbose
Turn on verbosity. Default is off.
-q, --quiet
Suppress messages. Default is off.
NOTES
To use this program with OpenSSH to connect to a host somewhere, create
a $HOME/.ssh/config file with the following content:
Host foobar
ProtocolKeepAlives 30
ProxyCommand /usr/bin/proxytunnel -p proxy.customer.com:8080 -u
user -s password -d mybox.athome.nl:443
If your proxy doesn't require the username and password for using it,
you can skip these options.
If you want to run proxytunnel from inetd add the '--inetd' option.
Most HTTPS proxies do not allow access to ports other than 443 (HTTPS)
and 563 (SNEWS), so some hacking is necessary to start the SSH daemon
on the required port. (On the server side add an extra Port statement
in the sshd_config file)
