I’ve just fired up ethereal and double checked this. SOCKS4 proxies (and firefox using SOCKS5, assuming you’re correct) leak DNS requests.
SSH PROXY CHECKER INSTALL
You don’t need to install privoxy locally on the client machine - all you need is PuTTY and a web browser. privoxy is run on the SSH server (ie the machine at the user’s home) which presumably the user has admin rights to. I searched to see if someone had written an extension that would tell Firefox to use DNS through a proxy, but I haven’t found one yet and I’m not sure if it’s technically possible.ġ0: you’re slightly misinterpreting the howto.
SSH PROXY CHECKER FULL
Supposedly, the Deer Park builds have an option to enable DNS lookups through the proxy (and future public full releases probably will too) but from what I can tell 1.06 does not. Firefox (as of yet) doesn’t support forwarding it’s DNS through the proxy, even though the SOCKS protocol (v5) supports it. Trillian (at least version 3) has an option to forward all of it’s name requests through the proxy, so they can’t tell you are using it unless they see it on a local machine.
Worst they could do is lock down a bunch of ports, but worst comes to worst you can use port 80 or 443, which most admins don’t block (unless they just don’t want you using the web of course.)
Trillian and Portable Firefox work fine off of a thumbdrive, Putty does as well but does leave a small registry entry on the local machine…not a big deal because it doesnt save a password in that or anything (unless you specifically tell it to.)Īn administrator can *see* what you are trying to accomplish, a well trained administrator knows that you are using SSH if you leave Putty set to a default port, if you change it he/she might be able to tell because they see the DNS request in their logs and then a bunch of encrypted traffic. With Privoxy, this becomes kinda moot, but you need to be a local administrator to install Privoxy properly, otherwise you will be leaking DNS requests to the local network. As was stated before, the biggest concern here is using your work or school’s network’s DNS, they can see where you are going, but they can’t see what you are doing when you are there. Most versions of SSH and the most current version of Putty can force the highest levels of encryption for the traffic that goes back and forth.
For example, redirection depending on the Wi-Fi network to which the phone is connected (home/work), time of day or the address of the requested resource itself.The encryption is pretty secure.
SSH PROXY CHECKER MANUAL
The application allows manual configuration of the PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) file using special rules. The advantage of the SSH Tunnel is the ability to fully control traffic redirection. You need to have an SSH server configured to use this application. Provides a local URL for a Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file (for WiFi proxy autoconfiguration) Connection Export & Import (iCloud Drive and other services) Supported SSH Keys: ECDSA, ed25519, RSA, PuTTY keys. Password, Private Key, 2FA (OTP) authentication Local Port Forwarding (works similar to: "ssh -L 80::80 gw.") Main functions and features of the application: The application allows you to configure a local socks5 proxy with a private tunnel to your own server. SSH Tunnel is the best and most convenient way to manage SSH tunnels on a mobile device running iOS. Built-in SOCKS5, PAC file URL provided, 2FA OTP (Google Authenticator, Yubikey), ECDSA, ed25519, RSA, PuTTY keys, in-app browser.
