What I´m trying to accomplish is to setup a proxy at home so I can use it at work to get around the proxy they have that blocks almost all web-content, they also have a firewall that I believe doesn´t allow traffic through port 22

I have searched alot, since I am an intermediate user, & English is my second language, I have had a little problem finding an easy to read guide.

I have tried openSSH, I´ve installed it then
created a group:

mkgroup -l >> etc\group
mkpasswd -l -u %username% >> etc\passwd
net start opensshd

That all seems fine.

Then I Downloaded Putty,

- I wrote my ip-adress on host
- picked SSH encryption

- On SSH tunnels i forwarded sourceport 80 - localhost:8080 ,443 - localhost:8081 & 1080 - localhost:1080
(according to some setup guide I found)

- First i tried port 22 (it worked fine) I can connect and through the putty prompt I get to write my login & pass then it works..

Then i Tried to change to port 443 which didn´t work, then tried 80 which also refused.

What happens when setup at those ports is that the putty promt that are suppose to ask for login % pass just goes empty.. I wonder Why?


************************************************** ********************
My connection is LAN through fiber, i haven´t got any router or NAT device in front. & I haven´t got any software firewalls or even the windows firewall on.

Using Windows XP-SP3

Can someone point me to a guide that is easy to understand or explain to me what i might be doing wrong when i try to connect through port 443 & can´t get it to work?

Would really aprociate if someone took the time.. Thanx!!
