This how I made a reverse tunnel SSH SOCKS5 proxy for my browser today with no proxy server software to install;
Then start chromium as follows: (should work with (some variable of) Chrome as the command in a separate terminal)
Terminal #2:
You will have a data-center IP so Google will see you as a proxy and you will get a national location (not local). Also, you will get recaptcha at times
You may want to try this if you need to be seen as in another country for legitimate reasons ...
Is This CLOAKING
ssh tunnel and socks proxy error: empty reply from server
SSH dynamic forwarding proxy - "No data received" in chrome
If ssh connection fails using SOCKS then what? Automate switch to no proxy?
SSH Tunnelling for HTTP: Does target HTTP Proxy Port have to be exposed?
How does reverse SSH tunneling work?
- User should be normal user (not root) for security
- Open up the firewall port on the server (if closed) (8888 example) any port not in use 5000-13000 should work fine
- Open a terminal (on LINUX, Mac?) or Putty on Windows\
- Then ssh to your server (see ssh command below)
- The following works on LINUX Ubuntu 18.04 localhost and Ubuntu 16.04 remote server (shell)
Code:
$ ssh -ND 8888 user@shell.example.net
#if you do -vvv it will debug and tell you all the data points (see hacking)
$ ssh -ND 8888 user@shell.example.net -vvv
Then start chromium as follows: (should work with (some variable of) Chrome as the command in a separate terminal)
Terminal #2:
Code:
chromium-browser --proxy-server="socks://localhost:8888"
You will have a data-center IP so Google will see you as a proxy and you will get a national location (not local). Also, you will get recaptcha at times
