You’re now done! You should be browsing the web using your SSH server. Using the remote, tunneled DNS server removes the risk of someone looking on the DNS server to see the web pages you’re viewing. Even when using the tunneled connection, your browser would normally be using the local DNS server. This will use your SSH connection’s DNS, and not the one you’re currently connected to. Enter _remote_dns as the filter and double click on the parameter to change the value to true. Click OK.įigure 4: Completed Firefox Network Connection Settings V5 might also work, but I’ve never tried it. However, localhost is the standard name in most cases. I use both since some OS’s have different addresses for the loopback. In the No Proxy for box, enter localhost, 127.0.0.1.
This will not affect anything running on that server, so for the most part, it’s completely safe. It does everything from webpage hosting, to e-mail, and even backups. I’m using Ubuntu 7.10 server for my SSH daemon.
#Firefox ssh tunnel putty install
The majority of Linux distros support this right after the OS is installed (assuming you didn’t install a firewall). You just have to be able to remotely log in using an SSH client. I’m assuming the SSH server is already set up. This method leaves my Internet Explorer untouched. I just log into PuTTY, and then open Firefox. I use Firefox for my secure browsing so that I don’t have to worry about constantly reconfiguring my browser. I’ve used PuTTy for years, so it’s my client of choice.įinally, you need a network that you don’t trust, or that you would just like to cover your tracks on. Next, you need an SSH client that supports SSH Tunneling.
You can also use a Linux box of some sort on your home network (This is my method of choice.) This will run remotely, you just need to be able to log into it using an SSH client. You can find these anywhere and most webpage hosts give you a login for one when you purchase hosting.
