Hope this is the right place to post this. If not mod's im sorry and please move. Okay here we go!!
I have a Verizon fiber optic connection which I use a WRT54GS Linksys router to split up the connection.
I have a hard wired connection from the router to my pc that I would like to use for the SSH connection.
I have setup port forwarding, with a static IP, and have verified that the ports have been open for port 22 by using www.grc.com/x/portprobe=22. When I run this on my pc at home I get a 'Open' message under status. When I run this on my pc from work I get a 'Stealth' message under status.
I restarted the Open SSH service.
I setup the server side application on my home pc and tested the connection.
I am able to log in while connected to my local LAN!!
Now I move to my work pc that I have next to me
I connected to my work network and ran the Putty client.
The next step is where I get confused:
In Putty I type in the external IP that I have forwarded to an internal IP of the pc that is hosting the OpenSSH application. I am behind a proxy at work so I click on the Proxy selection under Connection and enter my works proxy name into the Proxy Hostname box set to port 80. I type in my username and password that I use to authenticate on the network. The only thing that I question is the Proxy type as to what I need to set it to. Next I clicked on Tunnels under SSH and set the source port for port 80 and set the destination to 127.0.0.1:80 and select local, from what I understand this will forward all traffice coming in on port 22 to port 80 on my machine. I did this as Im not forsure what ports my job has open to allow for the tunnel. When I click on open the app will sit there for a few minutes and then return an error message stating that a connection cannot be made. Ive played around with the settings and I am still unable to connect.
I need to know if this setup is correct and work is just blocking the connection or if there are some changes that need to be made. Also do you think that my company, FannieMae, may possibly be blocking port 22 as they know that people may be using this port to tunnel to their home machines to bypass the content filter and thats why I cant establish a connection? Any help is appreciated and keep up the great work guys....Love the show!!!
