SSH Tunneling Questions

[TheWart]

Greetings AT network geniuses....I have a question regarding a topic in which I am not very well versed: SSH tunneling.

Here is the deal. I am overseas and have a Synology RAID NAS hooked up at my apartment. I can connect to it fine via the https web interface, but I am trying to mount the network shares in OSX so I can access them in Finder. Usually I would just use AFP, but I am hesitant to do that over the internet as I have been told it is not very secure.

So, I read up and can use the following command to setup an SSH tunnel.

ssh remote.server.ip -l username -L 22:127.0.0.1:548

I then just type in afp://127.0.0.1:548 in Finder and I can mount the drives no problem. The issue I am having is that I have been using the following command in order to use my Synology as a proxy server (to access US only sites):

ssh -D 9990 username@remote.server.ip

My question is, can I "combine" those two commands so that I can somehow have an SSH tunnel for my AFP share as well as a proxy server?

Thanks for any help!

Have you tried it? I don't know why you couldn't forward a single port and enable the SOCKS proxy at the same time but I don't think I've ever tried.

wow I feel dumb. I just added the "-D 9990" to the first command and it does work.

Thanks for the tip!
