    ssh proxy from china

    My friend is having some issues accessing google, etc. from China. I guess the china firewall is blocking her from getting to the websites.

    I am trying to have her proxy through my ubuntu server in the USA to get complete internet access, but i'm thinking china blocked port 22 for ssh'ing.

    here is what she did on her mac:
    Code:
    local-admins-computer:~ local_admin$ ssh -v -v -v -C -D 9999 Johnny5@coldowl.com
    OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
    debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
    debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
    debug1: Connecting to coldowl.com [67.49.6.242] port 22.
    debug1: connect to address 67.49.6.242 port 22: Operation timed out
    ssh: connect to host coldowl.com port 22: Operation timed out
    I can connect no problem using:
    Code:
    ssh -v -v -v -C -D 9999 Johnny5@coldowl.com
    but then again, i'm in the US. my server is behind a router with firewall disabled and the port forwarding all probperly configured.
    any ideas? my guess is china blocked port 22.

    Use a different port. For example, I forward port 54321 on my router to port 22 on my server to get around a port block at work.

    EDIT

    Also, I tried SSHing to your address, but it times out for me. I'm in Oregon.

    Re: ssh proxy from china

    When i'm on a "strange" network I always use http://webssh.strangled.net in my webbrowser to connect with my ssh server. It's a ssh client on a website so when i use this i can create ssh connections but proxys or firewalls between me and and that site only see my connection with the website.

    Thanks for the tip. I just needed to reroute my ssh port. I guess China has some ssh'ing issues on port 22
