In recent technology, WEB hosting with SSH ftp upload function is quite normal and almost becomes a standard service, but do you know it can be used as a Socket proxy. This is useful when you need cross the firewall (in China we called it GFW). Below is a quick introduction on how to do it.
1. Find a host plan with SSH service provided, e.g. an affordable service like Joomjump (USD 9.99 per year, unlimited bandwidth), and write down the user name and password of the your service account, let's say 'myUserName' and 'myPassword'.
2. Download the proxy software Tunnelier.exe, and run it for installation. After that you can start to input your server IP address, your user ID and password, the port is normally 22 if your service vendor did not change it (see picture I). In the service tab, enable the socket proxy service like picture II. If you do not want to see Tunnelier open the ftp window, you can choose not to open ftp when start it (pic III).
3. In your IE or firefox, change the proxy settings, and make sure the port is what you have setup in Tunnelier.
Now enjoy your private proxy server now, and don't be suffered any more.
用SSH翻墙大致有三步。
1. 找一个可以提供SSH FTP服务的海外空间商，例如9.99刀一年不限流量的Joomjump ,记下购买后得到的服务器地址，用户名和密码。
2.下载 Tunnelier.exe，然后运行并安装，安装完成后设置几个东西，输入服务器地址，用户名，密码。在Service里设置激活sock/ proxy http forwarding, 如果你不想每次在打开Tunnelier时看到ftp，那就关掉它。
3.在IE里修改proxy参数，把其它都填空，唯独输入socket既可。 |
