Transconnect compiled 2006OS and works, not with tmobil, but thats because of tmobil. anyway I digress

transconnect will allow ftp ssh telnet anything that the proxy will allow. For those of you stuck behind a firewall this is a must have

tconn.tar.gz contains
.tconn/INSTALL
.tconn/README
.tconn/tconn.conf
.tconn/tconn.sh
.tconn/user.sh

the .tconn directory should be placed into the users home directory

info about transconnect can be found here, i use version 1.2

http://transconnect.sourceforge.net/

--------------------------------

"connect" is another ssh proxy tool, only for ssh, but hey you can pipe everything through

Please enjoy, they don't work for the particular reason I was building them, but they work great just the same. Let me know if anyone makes use of this, or has any problems....

Do these tools, as their names seem to imply, require that the proxy (especially the https proxy on port 443) supports the CONNECT method ? (many don't !)

Do they allow changing the user-agent of forwarded http(s) requests, as OpenVPN does ?
TIA,
fp

I think the names of these should answer the first question? many don't ,but get stuck behind one though and the becomes kinda handy!

here is a copy of the transconnect conf file, you can see the user agent info below !

Maybe my question wasn't clear, but I don't understand the answer either :-)
Is the problem with T-Mobile that their proxy doesn't allow the SSL CONNECT command ?
Thanks, it's good that it's supported, but I think my proxy will be as bad as yours...

Anything like this available for 2008? I am hopelssly stuck behind a firewall @ work and unable to use anything other than the web,and jablet. I miss Vagalume.

These should work on 2008os, but I have not tested

Just a quick update to confirm that transconnect does indeed work on OS2008 and was able to get me past my firewall @ work. I am now happily using Vagalume. Thx PB !
