NAME

proxytunnel - program to tunnel a connection throught an standard HTTPS proxy.

SYNOPSIS

proxytunnel [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the proxytunnel command.

proxytunnel is a program that open a tunnel through a HTTPS proxy.

OPTIONS

This program follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

-h, --help

Print help and exit.

-V, --version

Print the version of the program and exit.

-i, --inetd

Run from inetd. Default is off.

-a PORT, --standalone=PORT

Run as standalone daemon on specified port.

-p host:port, --proxy=host:port

The local HTTPS proxy host:port combo to connect to.

-r host:port, --remproxy=host:port

The second-level (remote) proxy host:port to connect to when using two proxies.

-d host:port, --dest=host:port

The destination host:port to built the tunnel to.

-e, --encrypt

Encrypt the data between the local proxy and the destination using SSL.

-E, --encrypt-proxy

Encrypt the data between the client and the local proxy using SSL.

-X, --encrypt-remproxy

Encrypt the data between the local proxy and the second-level proxy using SSL.

-F STRING, --passfile=STRING

The file containing Username & Password to send to HTTPS proxy for authentification. This file uses the same format as .wgetrc, and so can use the credentials in common with wget. This option can be used to at least hide the password from anyone clever enough to use the `ps' command.

-P user:pass, --proxyauth=user:pass

The credentials to use for local HTTP(S) proxy authentication.

-R user:pass, --remproxyauth=user:pass

The credentials to use for remote HTTP(S) proxy authentication.

-N, --ntlm

Use NTLM-based authentication.

-t DOMAIN, --domain=DOMAIN

The NTLM domain to use, default is to autodetect.

-H STRING, --header=STRING

Additional HTTP headers to send to the proxy.

-x STRING, --proctitle=STRING

Use a different process title.

-v, --verbose

Turn on verbosity. Default is off.

-q, --quiet

Suppress messages. Default is off.

NOTES

To use this program with OpenSSH to connect to a host somewhere, create a $HOME/.ssh/config file with the following content:

Host foobar
       ProtocolKeepAlives 30

       ProxyCommand /usr/bin/proxytunnel -p proxy.customer.com:8080

        -P user:password -d mybox.athome.nl:443

If your proxy doesn't require the username and password for using it, you can skip these options.

If you want to run proxytunnel from inetd add the '--inetd' option.

Most HTTPS proxies do not allow access to ports other than 443 (HTTPS) and 563 (SNEWS), so some hacking is necessary to start the SSH daemon on the required port. (On the server side add an extra Port statement in the sshd_config file)
