===== SSH dynamic (SOCKS) proxy =====

If you do not need a full [[en:vpn:|VPN]], you can use a dynamic proxy via [[en:ssh|SSH]]:

=== First step: create the tunnel ===

  * **Unix, MacOS-X**: ''ssh -Dlocalhost:8888 username@login-stud.informatik.uni-bonn.de'' (students) or ''ssh -Dlocalhost:8888 username@login-staff.informatik.uni-bonn.de (employees)''  --- replace "username" with your user name.
  * **[[en:ssh:config#putty|Putty]] running on Windows**:   {{ :de:ssh:puttysocks.png?direct&200|}}
     - In __Session__: Host ''login-stud.informatik.uni-bonn.de'' (students) or ''login-staff.informatik.uni-bonn.de'' (employees)
     - In __Connection__: open the sub-menu ''SSH''
     - In __Tunnels__: ''destination'' //dynamic//, ''source port'' //8888//, ''ADD''
     - Then ''Open''

=== Second step: use the tunnel ===

Finally, configure in your web browser ''localhost:8888'' as the Socks V5 proxy.

This example is for ''firefox 60.esr'', English version. Other browsers and versions may look differently. Type, of course, //8888// wherever //7777// is used these pictures.
