HTTP-Tunnel

[Leoski]

Being behind a firewall is a pain in the ass. I would like to create an http tunnel using java, or php if possible. But i have no clue on how to start from. I know there are some available for free, however their servers are located in the US, and im in Europe, thus the connection is very slow. and i would also like to develop it for fun.

If you are on a system behind a firewall that you cannot control, the owner of the system has the right to control what you can access. Please do not ask for ways to defeat it on our forums.

The firewall at my job blox port 80, and force us clients to use their Proxy. My company just increased the web filters on our proxy server, and actually removed google !

But they still keep SSH ports open on the firewall.

So now, I SSH into my home network, then build a tunnel to a proxy server on my home net, then I direct my browser to the tunnel, and voila !

Latency = Yes (but not much)

but...

Proxy Filter = No

Could you give me an explenation/tutorial on how you accomplish that?

Why not properly configure your firewall?

I have no control over the firewall. If I had this post wouldn't even exist.
