N900 SSH dynamic port forwarding with SOCKS
I've been playing around with SSH trying to tunnel all my web traffic through SSH. SSH session works and listens on the specified port but I can't seem to get the browser setup correctly.
Using the following: ssh -D 8080 -f -C -q -N [username]@[host] Tried to edit the proxy configuration on the browser with about:config. I can specify the socks proxy IP (127.0.0.1) but when I try to specify the port it won't let me change the value from 0. Anyone else have any better luck? Thanks |

Strange, got it working by using the onscreen keyboard to edit the proxy field. Working like a charm right now.

Does the N900 SSH have the full VPN tunnel support?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN It's the -w option, you need root login enabled for your server though (the one downside).. but if you get that working you don't need to mess with proxies at all.... and all traffic would go through it, not just the browser. Seems like it would be kind of fun :). |

Connects just fine, but we don't have arp. I was hoping this might be a workaround for the lack of iptables, but apparently I'm out of luck. :/ Guess it's time to download the sdk and start compilin'. |

I have put the Chinook version of tsocks in my Fremantle repo (see my webpage for repo details). It works great for tunneling VNC through SSH.
Thanks for the tip about editing about:config with the on-screen keyboard. Very strange behaviour. |
Re: N900 SSH dynamic port forwarding with SOCKS
Veering only slightly off-topic, I wonder if anyone has tried the new-ish method for creating a tun interface via an SSH tunnel with the -w option.
I've not tried it at all yet, but I notice that the ssh client on the N900 supports it. Edit: I wonder if tun/tap is built into the kernel? |

fnordianslip: you aren't veering off topic, since fatalsaint asked the same thing a few posts before.
