multi hop ssh socks proxy Directions

Command to run:
ssh -L 2222:localhost:8501 [email protected]

where 2222 is the local port mapping it can be any number above 1000

where localhost must be set to localhost and refers to your current connection

where 8501 is the port you will be opening up on the remote machine

where [email protected] is the first hop in your quest for internal access

Now hit return and log into your remote box
Now inside your remote box run

ssh -D 8501 [email protected]

Where -D 8501 is the same mapping you made earlier, we're extending it, and making it a Socks5 proxy

[email protected] is the server you always wanted access to.


now open firefox and go to preferences->network
click the settings button
check manual proxy configuration
in SOCKS Host put 127.0.0.1 port 2222

make sure SOCKS v5 is selected

click ok

BAM your done! :) now you are able to view sites served through that second hop machine :) whoot!
