SSH Proxy

Set up the tunnel with this command:

  • ssh -D 8080 -f -C -q -N toor@example.com

Explanation of arguments

  • -D: Tells SSH that we want a SOCKS tunnel on the specified port number (you can choose a number between 1025-65536)
  • -f: Forks the process to the background
  • -C: Compresses the data before sending it
  • -q: Uses quiet mode
  • -N: Tells SSH that no command will be sent once the tunnel is up
