SSH Tunnel in Windows
|
|
You may use whatever SSH client you wish, but we only provide instructions and links for putty because it is well known and free. Other SSH clients can be found here, but you are on your own with install and configure issues for anything else.
Install and configure puTTY:
- Download:
- Install
- Start PuTTY
- Where it says Hostname (or IP address) type in the server name you got in the email when you requested SSH
- Where it says Saved Sessions type in Cotse SSH Tunnel
- Click the Save button
- On left click the [+] next to SSH
- Click on Tunnels
- In Source Port type 5000
- In Destination type 127.0.0.1:8888
- 8888 is unfiltered, you do own filtering, fastest.
- 8080 is filtered, passes through Privoxy for added safety, but does slow it down.
- Click Add button
- On left scroll to top and click on Sessions
- Click Save button again.
- PuTTY is configured, now to launch it.
- Double click on Cotse SSH Tunnel and log in with your cotse username (all lower case) and your password (password is case sensitive and will not echo, just type it and hit enter)
- Do not close the window
- PuTTY must always be started first, then launch web browser.
