I'm a little confused. I'm outside USA and I want to browse some restricted content for users located outside of the U.S. Can I do this using Sshttle and a VPS?

- spullara 16y agoAll traffic will come from the machine that you are SSH'd into.
- ceejayoz 16y agoTranslation: Yes, if your VPS is in the US.
- ccarpenterg 16y agoYes, It's in the US. I'm not confused anymore.
- leon_ 16y agoyou don't need shuttle > ssh -D localhost:8888 <you@yourvps.com> then enter localhost:8888 as your socks proxy in your web browser.
- nprincigalli 16y agoYes, but you need a server in the US, so you can ssh to it. Just so you know, for anything that works over a socks proxy you can already do that easily with ssh (using the -D switch, check the manpage). You then need to configure your client app to use it (e.g. if doing ssh -D locally, in google's chrome, go to tools -> preferences -> under the hood -> proxy settings -> manual, then fill with localhost and the port number)
