Take a look at http://www.htthost.com This allows you to tunnel through a proxy using HTTP and arrive at an external tunnel server. The tunnel link through the proxy can be encrypted using a static symmetric key (no SSL). The tunnel server can be running on a machine over which you have control on the outside of the proxy zone. I'm assuming that you want to do what I am doing (that is to keep whatever I am doing from the proxy log files) so a symmetric key would do you and will save on the key set up. The system is free, but is only suitable for Windows boxes. Hope this helps. At 08:01 23.07.2002 -0500, you wrote:
This may have been discussed before, but a Google search has turned up lacking.
Given internet access from a private intranet, through an HTTP proxy out of the user's control, is it possible to establish a secure tunnel to an outside server? I'd expect that ordinary SSL connections will secure user <-> proxy and proxy <-> server separately, with the proxy able to observe cleartext. Could an SSH connection be made under these conditions?
Pointers appreciated, thanks. -- Roy M. Silvernail Proprietor, scytale.com roy@scytale.com
