SYNOPSIS
corkscrew PROXY PROXYPORT TARGETHOST TARGETPORT [AUTH_FILE]
DESCRIPTION
corkscrew is a simple tool to tunnel TCP connections through an HTTP proxy supporting the CONNECT method. It reads stdin and writes to std- out during the connection, just like netcat. It can be used for instance to connect to an SSH server running on a remote 443 port through a strict HTTPS proxy.- PROXY
- The name of the host running the HTTP proxy.
- PROXYPORT
- The port on which to connect on the proxy.
- TARGET
- The host to reach through the proxy.
- TARGETPORT
- The port to connect to on the target host.
- AUTH_ FILE
-
The auth file is made of one single line containing your username and
password in the form
username:password
OPTIONS
None.EXAMPLES
The common usage of corkscrew is to put the following line in ~/.ssh/ssh_config:
ProxyCommand corkscrew proxy proxyport %h %p [<path to auth_file>]
This will let the ssh connection go through the proxy with the help of corkscrew.
