Hello,

I see many options in the KDE Network Connection Pannel for using different types of VPN's.
But is there a way to also configure a SSH-SOCKS5 Proxy?

kind regards

server must run sshd. client must create a tunnel with following command:

Code: Select all

ssh user@SERVER_IP -D 8080
now you go to firefox preferences and set host: 127.0.0.1, port 8080 as SOCKS 5

Cheers

You must allow ssh tunnel into ssh config too.

I see. Is there a method to route all traffic through that ssh tunnel first, like the windows application "proxifier" can ?
Only setting this in firefox would only force firefox to use it, will be more secure if all traffic has to.

- please dont call me a paranoid :)

kind regards

Please have a look there for detailed explanation. I don't suggests this but that's your choice. :)
