Greetings, I'm currently working on the following setup: 1) run a ssh server as a tor hidden service on a remote machine 2) Use a tails instance to connect to it over tor 3) Launch a browser in tails and use the ssh connection as a proxy
Goal: Have a connection over tor for webtraffic yet still have all outbound traffic exiting from the remote endpoint running the ssh hidden service Reason: To be able to easily connect to services that block tor exit nodes and use facilities installed on the remote end Problem: Using the simple ssh command: ssh -D 9999 -C -N [email protected] which works on other machines I get the "proxy refusing connections" error after configuring the browser to use as proxy localhost and port 9999. Questions: Is there a better way to accomplish my goal?(X11 forwarding is atrociously slow) What am I doing wrong? Is that endeavor flawed from a security point of view?
