ergo-proxy.sh

# Usage: bash ergo-proxy.sh <on off>
# Hitting ctrl-c while tunneled will exit the tunnel and turn the proxies off

STATE=$1

# Get a list of network services: networksetup -listallnetworkservices
NETWORKSERVICE=Wi-Fi

# Local port
PORT=3128

# Remote host
HOST=localhost

# Remote host port
HOST_PORT=8888

# SSH connection string
CONNECTION="$HOME/.ssh/kp-xxx.pem [email protected]"

Hi, I read your article about set proxy server on aws ec2. However, I followed your article step by step. It still can't establish proxy server.
After this step : ssh -L 3128:localhost:8888 -N -i ~/.ssh/kp-ergo-proxy.pem [email protected]
Should I see anything on my terminal ?
