ssh as SOCKS server
Original post is here eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2021/02-21-ssh-as-socks-server.
Assume three computers A, B, and C. A can connect to B via ssh
, but A cannot connect to C, but B can connect to C.
A -> B -> C
On A open ssh
as SOCKS-server with
ssh -N -D 9020 user@B
Now on A one can use
brave --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:9020"
The browser will then show up as if directly surfing on B thereby circumventing the limitations on A.
Instead of the brave browser, one can use Chromium, or Firefox. Option "-N": Do not execute a remote command.
