Using the -D flag gives a SOCKS5 proxy, listening locally, making/accepting connections on the ssh remote end. You can use it directly in Firefox, no need for full-fledged VPN. (and for that, there would be the new -w option -- when IP-via-TCP is an option) -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

(and for that, there would be the new -w option -- when IP-via-TCP is an option) Yes, ssh is usually my choice for one-time tunnels, but I took the opportunity to setup a full-fledged VPN against this national server, just in case I needed anything else :) In any case, (quote form man ssh here) Since an SSH-based setup entails a fair amount of overhead, it may be more suited to temporary setups, such as for wireless VPNs. More permanent VPNs are better provided by tools such as ipsecctl(8) and isakmpd(8).. - -- Arturo Buanzo Busleiman - Consultor Independiente en Seguridad Informatica Servicios Ofrecidos: http://www.buanzo.com.ar/pro/ Unase a los Foros GNU/Buanzo - La palabra Comunidad en su maxima expresion. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG7ZhSAlpOsGhXcE0RCuAtAJ0coPxWG6Vo803NKne6DNrsaKcpyACfavLU k3+FEhsG930qw0QMttmouno= =CyLg -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
