Terminal access via proxy

To access a terminal (SSH) using a proxy, you have several options depending on the type of proxy (HTTP, SOCKS5) and your setup. Here are some common methods:

Using OpenSSH with a Proxy

If you’re using an SSH client that supports proxies (like OpenSSH), you can configure it to route through a proxy.

A. SOCKS5 Proxy (e.g., Tor, Shadowsocks)

1

ssh -o ProxyCommand="nc -x <proxy_host>:<proxy_port> %h %p" user@target_server

Alternatively, if your system has proxychains installed:

1

proxychains ssh user@target_server

B. HTTP Proxy with nc (Netcat)

1

ssh -o ProxyCommand="nc -X connect -x proxy_ip:proxy_port %h %p" user@target_server

C. Using proxytunnel for an HTTP Proxy

Install proxytunnel first:

1

sudo apt install proxytunnel

Then, use:

1

ssh -o ProxyCommand="proxytunnel -p proxy_ip:proxy_port -d target_server:22" user@target_server
