Wonderful!

I mean how hard was it to find a simple socks server for just this purpose. 🙂 Dante was just stupid and not even supporting file based authentication.

@hm2k

Does this socks work with sending/receiving dcc sends as well or just for chatting?

In reply to Anonymouse. No. The post was written back in 2008, so it was accurate at the time of writing. According to FreshPorts the latest FreeBSD ports release is 3.6.4_2.

"In FreeBSD, anyone may submit a new port, or volunteer to maintain an existing port if it is unmaintained--you do not need any special commit privileges to do so." - FreeBSD Porter's Handbook

This post is now badly outdated. FreeBSD’s latest update is 3.6.4-3, which is iver 2 years old. The port is not being maintained anymore. Newest version is 3.8.5-1.

@Goad That would be great!

I’ll update the download files, but you can download it as a GNU tarball from here:

Hi, I want to porting ssspl to FreeBSD ports tree. But I found the file released in sourceforge.net is too old. (FreeBSD ports system can’t fetch file from SVN or any SCM.) Could you please update the file in the download zone? Thank you very much!

Hey, neat code. Any luck getting this working with browsers? (I came across your posts trying to access from Firefox.)

It seems like exactly what I’m looking for to do web-browsing thru one of my remote servers, but i haven’t been able to figure out how to do so.

Have tried sss.pl w/ no username/pwd… have tried using nputty port fwd-ing a bit as well…

any help would be most welcome…

Dear HM2k,

I have been trying to access to a network behind some SSH severs via the Internet. I guess your script would be a great help.

The following depicts the connections:-

1) Home ——-> Internet ——–> FreeBDS SSH Gateway ——> Private IP Network

2) Home ——–> Internet ———> FreeBDS SSH Gateway —–> FreeBDS server —–> Private IP Network

I would like to SSH/SNMP directly to the private network from home.

So far, I am only successful setting up a socks server using SSH -D on situation 1; however only TCP traffic allows.

I have tried running your script but to no avail. Perhaps, I am missing something. Your advice a greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
