Http-tunnel free alternative ?

[Bulldog13]

Ciao

Does anyone know of a free ware alternative to http-tunnel? The idea intrigues me and I would like to set up the "server" on a home computer and funnel in from another computer.

The only thing I could find I think that is similar is SocksCap. Does this do the same thing ?

Any help is heartily appreciated.

Linux has very powerfull networking capabilities and can do this sort of thing 6 different ways till sunset. Lots of ways by just combining the tools aviable in most setups.

For instance to create a encrypted PPP session between 2 computers on the internet I just use ssh and pppd deamons. You have to set it up so that ssh works with no password from one computer to another and don't configure the pppd deamon to need a username or password.

pppd silent 192.168.1.10:192.168.1.12 pty "ssh -t root@remote.computer.com 192.168.1.12:192.168.1.10"

And if that works out then you have a encrypted full network connection thru a ssh tunnel. There are free httptunnel stuff and VPN stuff, too.


here is a description of howto set up a VPN using the same Masquarading (mostly similar or same to NAT) technics used in most home routers

Damn, now I am wishing I didn t chuck my debian linux box in a fit of rage after trying to install a serial mouse for 2 days....

haha serial mice suck. I could tell you how to get it to work, but since you tossed your box, their isn't much point now.

lol.

The worst part is, about a week later I found a part called a y-adaptor that would have allowed me to hook both the mouse and keyboard up via ps2.

owned.

Anyone have any windows alternatives the the program previously mentioned.

Essentially if a program uses port X to do something I want to be able to funnel the info into port 80 in case port x is blocked.

Thoughts ?

Well, you could install Apache and use it's proxy module.

It can proxy http traffic for you, and isn't terribly hard to setup.
Im assuming the proxy module comes with the binary Windows distribution, not 100% on that though, but I don't see why not, Windows users usually tend to avoid compiling stuff on their own, so it would make sens to include all the modules.

Talking about the 1.3.x series by the way, I don't know about 2.0.x series since I haven't used those much.
