How To Bypass Firewalls To View Restricted Sites in Offices & Schools

Q1) What Method i will be using ?

Ans : I will be using a method called SSH tunneling

Q2) What is SSH ? and What does it exactly do?

Ans : Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices and all traffic are encrypted not like ftp or telnet were all the messages are sent in plain text

So if we encrypt our connection even a firewall or a proxy wont know were we connecting .Follow the setps given bellow to make a ssh tunnel

Q3) Things we need ?

Ans : 1. Putty you can download from here

2. A SSH account there are lots free ssh services providers try
googling them



Q4) Setting up a SSH Tunnel With Putty ?

Ans : 1. After u download open putty now enter the host name as SSH
account which we created earlier and enter the port as 22


2. Now go To SSH options and open tunnels now Change Source port
to 8080 and click Dynamic. and finally click open

3. Now login with your details .Now we will configure Mozilla firefox to use
SSH connection.


4. Now open Firefox and Go to the "Tools" menu and then Options and
Go to the "Advanced" button, the "Network" tab, and then click
"Settings

5. In the connection settings enter "localhost" as the "Socks Host and
your port number, such as "1080" into the "Port:" field .thats it
now all connections are encrypted thus bypassing firewall or proxy


If you want view the packets u can use wire shark
