Hello. We have a great firewall that scans keywords on tcp connections' raw data, thus I could not use my http proxy server outside of the firewall because both direct connection to the web server and in-direct connect to the http proxy are scanned by the firewall.
My trick is to run 'ssh -L' and configure browser to use http proxy server that runs on localhost, which forwards to the real http proxy server. However runs ssh -L several times a day is against basic principle of using computer: let computer does the repeating task. autossh helps but it also occupies a console session which I don't like. I thought about wrapping the proxy server with stunnel, but then I could not configure Firefox to connect to http proxy using https protocol. Then I think running autossh -L as a system service (not possible because it doesn't detach from console). What would you recommend then? (TOR is already being used but hardly acceptable for very low bandwidth it offers) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
