Contents
Closing a Hung Session
Type enter, tilde (~), period, enter to exit a hung SSH session.
Tunneling
You can tunnel single ports or run a socks proxy with SSH. Google for SSH forwarding or see the howto below.
Example
Socks proxy
This will open a Socks proxy on port 6969. Configure your applications to proxy through localhost:6969 to use the tunnel.
ssh -D 6969 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org
Tunnel single port
This opens a tunnel to milton.vtluug.org which is redirected through acidburn.
ssh -L 6969:milton.vtluug.org:22 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org
now, on your machine, open a new shell, and run:
ssh localhost -p 6969 -l wadsworth
to ssh into milton as wadsworth.
