- Establish a SSH tunnel through the jumphost skyhigh.hig.no by executing the following command on your terminal:
# ssh -D [local-port][ntnu-username]@skyhigh.hig.no
# ssh -D 9000 danil@skyhigh.hig.no
- use your NTNU user name in order to log into the jumphost
- before establishing the SSH connection make sure that the selected port (e.g. 9000) is not currently being used by another process. The availability of a port on a Linux machine can be checked with the following command: #netstat -tulpn . If the port is listed in the output, this means that the port is already being used by a process. In that case you will need to select a different port. - Enable proxy configuration on your browser. The following steps apply only for Firefox:
- Go to Firefox Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings:
- Inside settings, select Manual proxy configurations and enter 127.0.0.1 followed by your chosen port (e.g. 9000). Do not forget to enable SOCKs v5.
- Click OK to accept the changes.
- Browse to http://www.minip.no/ (with Firefox) to check whether you are connected to the skyhigh.hig.no network. You should now be able to access the website running on your web server through Firefox by browsing through it.
- Go to Firefox Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings:
