Tunneling With A VPS To A NAT
May 18, 2009
my provider offers me a 10 mbit connection, but no public ip. This way, if I have a network printer behind my connection, I can't reach it.
From my understandings, if I have a VPS with a public IP, I could use it to open a tunnel with my local network printer using openVPN, and then reach the VPS to print from anywhere.
I made an example with a network printer, but it could be an FTP, a workstation, ... and all the nice things you could do with a beauty like a 10 mbit connection.

I am thinking about setting something up that will allow an ssh user to tunnel through the server to view certain sites. However, I want the user who tunnels in to be allowed to view only certain sites, and not all sites.
I figured I could set this up through IP tables, however, if I block all outbound sites, so goes the tunneled user. Is there a way to keep the tunnel alive while blocking all traffic outbound besides a named website, say google.com for example? The users tunneling in will have different IPs, so, I cannot use that to allow the outgoing connections. The only thing I have thought of would be to somehow allow an active connection to be able to receive outbound traffic, if they have already been connected, but, I am unsure if iptables can be set up this way.
Anyone set something like this up before, or perhaps, could point me in the right direction.

I'm having difficulty setting up tunneling, and I was hoping someone might have some insight. My current setup works just fine if the starting computer is not located behind its own proxy. But I cannot get the connection to work from a corporate LAN, which will be necessary when I'm on premises and need to get out. I've been switching to Verizon wifi when I need various ports, but this is a bad solution due to speed.
So, I have OpenSSH setup on the computer in my home office. It's setup on port 443, and it uses my main login user and pass to accept connections. I have a .bat file that triggers the following command in PuTTy when I run it:
putty -D 8080 -P 443 -ssh xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
The connection works just fine. I can log in, see my computer structure list directories, manipulate files, etc. Wonderful.
I have a browser set up to connect using SOCKS5. Over my wifi (with no corporate firewall), this works great. When I check my IP at www.ipchicken.com (my personal fave), it gives me my home office IP, just like it should. However, when I switch to corporate LAN, the connection to my PC remains active, but I cannot tunnel out past that point. The corporate LAN is using ISA Server (WINP - 8080).
I've read a couple tutorials on how to get the corporate proxy to play nice with OpenSSH, but I can't seem to get it to work, no matter what I try. Is there something big I'm missing here? What more info can I post to help get me to the right answer?

I am trying to set a vpn system up on a windows 2003 server, that will tunnel my and some friends internet thru it, making it secure encrypted esspecially when using unsecure devices using wifi.
we tried this on a test server with 1 network card, we manage to setup the vpn and loggin, but we cannot manage to get our internet thru it.
That is basically the most important to it, we dont want local server harddisk access or anything, just to get our internet thru the vpn so it is secure and encrypted.
The test box had 1 network card, and if we take a cheap server for this purphose it will probably have 1 card also.
Who can help us achieve this and explain us how for future refernces ? We are willing to pay a fee.

I have a rented VPS with 2TB of disk space and a plesk license in order to host the sites that i develop and my sites, and found myself with around 1.8TB of free space, plesk samba management and plesk vpn management but with few missing pieces for my idea. My idea was to setup vpn tunneling between my laptop and desktop to plesk server and access samba share from the server like they were in my LAN.In the firewall I have opened only the classic mail and web ports (obviously plesk access too).
