socks proxy

Handy when needing to make edits to mikrotik router from wifi VLAN by proxying web from Mini over VPN

ssh -D 1337 -q -C -N user@hostname
  • In Firefox settings search socks
  • Manual Proxy config
  • SOCKS Host: localhost Port 1337
  • SOCKS V5
  • Check Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5

Browsing should now work from laptop but proxied over VPN so I can access router settings

tunnel remote app from remote host locally

Use this to make edits on syncthing from headless server

  • ssh -L 8080:localhost:8384 user@hostname
  • 8080 is the port to visit on localhost
  • 8384 is the port the web app is running on the remote host
