Computer network Use corkscrew for remote connection under Linux

Recently re-installed the computer, using SSH remote connection Machine room machines, the connection time-out, and then ping the Machine room, no response, that is, my computer and computer room is not connected, and then ping room of the gateway, but can ping through. So, we need to find a way to connect the room by proxy: corkscrew.

1 Installing corkscrew

sudo apt-get install corkscrew

2 Configuring Corkscrew

Create a new. Corkscrew-auth in the user's home directory, and place the user name and password for the remote machine in the following format:

username:passwd

In the user home directory under the. SSH directory to create a new config file, if there is no. ssh directory, you can build it, add the following content:

Host *proxycommand corkscrew proxyhostname proxyport%h%p/home/username/.corkscrew-auth

Proxyhostname and ProxyPort need to be modified to the proxy IP and port number, username to the user name.

3 Test SSH

SSH [email protected]*.*

4 Summary

Once the system is installed, SSH is already in use, but using SSH or other connection tools, such as the Remmina remote connection client, cannot use the proxy. Corkscrew allows a secure SSH session to be established through an HTTP proxy, or, of course, the Putty SSH client, which also has a proxy function, but its interface is too ugly for Linux.
