http tunnel
« on: 23 October 2005, 20:31 »
Does anyone have a clue about http tunneling?

Basically I'm at uni, on a shitty network.
It's high speed, but the proxy and firewall i'm behing sucks ass.
I get port 80, that's about it.

After trying many, many bittorrent programs, it seems BitComet works through my proxy :D

I'd like to use a http tunnel, so I can use programs like Napster again, I do miss it.

Why don't you just tel the SysAdmin to shut down the firewall(/do something to it) or  go to hell ! :D

I've spoke to the sysadmins many times - they are incompetant.

I tried HTTP-Tunnel Client for Windows before, but to no success, but I found this tutorial where the guy uses Socks Cap with HTTP-Tunnel, and this seems to work.

It's slow, and I can browse websites, but not Flash animations :/

So this doesn't really work lol.

If anyone has a box that I can proxy/tunnel through at a decent speed (to be able to use Flash/Shockwave animations) would be great.

I work for a company, moderating a 2D Chat Site, that is based on Shockwave.

You need to use p2p proggies that support SOCKS proxies.

Then you can create an ssh tunnel to let them out. (this clearly requires an account on a remote linux box)


# ssh -2 -D xyz -N [email protected]

Next, instruct your client to use SOCKS on localhost, port xyz. Azureus is good for this.

PS. Don't tunnel through illhostit.com servers, it isn't appreciated.

PPS. Finally! A *nix question.

I'm at waikato university, New Zealand and the lab setups are pretty shit here too.

They've got gentoo, usb doesn't work, sound craps out, heaps of dead shortcuts, konqueror ALWAYS crashes, naulitis ALWAYS crashes, heaps of dead shortcuts, half installed software. It runs so bloody slow (P2.4Ghz, 512mem ???).

I don't need any P2P programs.
Bittorrent was all I needed in P2P, and BitComet works fine.

Napster is a legal service that a subscribe to, so it'd be nice if I could use that.

I don't have a *nix box to use :(
Anyone wanna hook me up with a shell? :)

My main need is Shockwave, which would make me a very happy bunny.

I go to Westminster Uni in London

Kintaro's shell accounts still work, but OSX Terminal won't let me scroll down for some reason, it jams up against [END] and won't go farther.

My school has a mix of Win95/Win98 boxes, slow, crappy, and stupid websense randomly blocks google. Unfortunately, most of them can't even support firefox. And when they deleted the games, they left the DOS Command Prompt right on there, begging for a C:/ FORMAT, and possible Debian installation.

Also, microsoft donated a lot of stuff to the school district, so we can't install something else on them, so we're stuck indefinately with Win95/98 because the school can't afford new hardware.

btw- I'm sorry for double posting, but for some reason edit post just gives a big grey box that doesn't let you see the post, or edit it for that matter.

How are you scrolling? I use OS X terminal and don't have that problem at all.

I don't know I don't know that much about Mac OS but all I can suggest is possible a bad install or display driver could be responsible for this - it could reason for this to happen on any OS.

I'd say someone rebound the page up/down keys in terminal prefs. Scrolling works fine for me.

Kintaro's shell was on a dsl connection in Australia, which is the other side of the world to me.

Too slow :/
