PROXYTUNNEL(1)						      General Commands Manual						    PROXYTUNNEL(1)

NAME

       proxytunnel - program to tunnel a connection throught an standard HTTPS proxy.

SYNOPSIS

       proxytunnel [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the proxytunnel command.

       proxytunnel is a program that open a tunnel through a HTTPS proxy.

OPTIONS

       This program follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

       -h, --help
	      Print help and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Print the version of the program and exit.

       -i, --inetd
	      Run from inetd. Default is off.

       -a PORT, --standalone=PORT
	      Run as standalone daemon on specified port.

       -p host:port, --proxy=host:port
	      The local HTTPS proxy host:port combo to connect to.

       -r host:port, --remproxy=host:port
	      The second-level (remote) proxy host:port to connect to when using two proxies.

       -d host:port, --dest=host:port
	      The destination host:port to built the tunnel to.

       -e, --encrypt
	      Encrypt the data between the local proxy and the destination using SSL.

       -E, --encrypt-proxy
	      Encrypt the data between the client and the local proxy using SSL.

       -B, --buggy-encrypt-proxy
	      Encrypt  the  data  between  the	client and the local proxy using SSL, but stop using SSL immediately after the CONNECT exchange to
	      workaround server bugs.  (Might not work on all setups; see /usr/share/doc/proxytunnel/README.Debian.gz for more details.)

       -X, --encrypt-remproxy
	      Encrypt the data between the local proxy and the second-level proxy using SSL.

       -F STRING, --passfile=STRING
	      The file containing Username & Password to send to HTTPS proxy for authentification.  This file uses the same format as .wgetrc, and
	      so  can use the credentials in common with wget.	This option can be used to at least hide the password from anyone clever enough to
	      use the `ps' command.

       -P user:pass, --proxyauth=user:pass
	      The credentials to use for local HTTP(S) proxy authentication.

       -R user:pass, --remproxyauth=user:pass
	      The credentials to use for remote HTTP(S) proxy authentication.

       -N, --ntlm
	      Use NTLM-based authentication.

       -t DOMAIN, --domain=DOMAIN
	      The NTLM domain to use, default is to autodetect.

       -H STRING, --header=STRING
	      Additional HTTP headers to send to the proxy.

       -x STRING, --proctitle=STRING
	      Use a different process title.

       -v, --verbose
	      Turn on verbosity. Default is off.

       -q, --quiet
	      Suppress messages. Default is off.

NOTES

       To use this program with OpenSSH to connect to a host somewhere, create a $HOME/.ssh/config file with the following content:

       Host foobar
	    ProtocolKeepAlives 30
	    ProxyCommand /usr/bin/proxytunnel -p proxy.customer.com:8080
	       -P user:password -d mybox.athome.nl:443

       If your proxy doesn't require the username and password for using it, you can skip these options.

       If you want to run proxytunnel from inetd add the '--inetd' option.

       Most HTTPS proxies do not allow access to ports other than 443 (HTTPS) and 563 (SNEWS), so some hacking is necessary to start the SSH  dae-
       mon on the required port. (On the server side add an extra Port statement in the sshd_config file)

NAME

       Net::Proxy::Connector::connect_ssl - Create SSL/CONNECT tunnels through HTTP proxies

SYNOPSIS

	   # sample proxy using Net::Proxy::Connector::tcp
	   #		    and Net::Proxy::Connector::connect_ssl
	   use Net::Proxy;

	   # listen on localhost:6789
	   # and proxy to remotehost:9876 through proxy.company.com:8080
	   # using the given credentials
	   my $proxy = Net::Proxy->new(
	       in  => { type => 'tcp', port => '6789' },
	       out => {
		   type        => 'connect_ssl',
		   host        => 'remotehost',
		   port        => '9876',
		   proxy_host  => 'proxy.company.com',
		   proxy_port  => '8080',
		   proxy_user  => 'jrandom',
		   proxy_pass  => 's3kr3t',
		   proxy_agent => 'Mozilla/4.04 (X11; I; SunOS 5.4 sun4m)',
	       },
	   );
	   $proxy->register();

	   Net::Proxy->mainloop();

DESCRIPTION

       "Net::Proxy::Connecter::connect_ssl" is a "Net::Proxy::Connector" that uses the HTTP CONNECT method to ask the proxy to create a tunnel to
       an outside server. The data is then encrypted using SSL.

       Obviously, you'll need a server that understands SSL (or a proxy using "Net::Proxy::Connector::ssl") at the other end.

       This connector is only an "out" connector.

       In addition to the options listed below, this connector accepts all "SSL_..." options to "IO::Socket::SSL". They are transparently passed
       through to the appropriate "IO::Socket::SSL" methods when upgrading the socket to SSL.

CONNECTOR OPTIONS

       "Net::Proxy::Connector::connect" accepts the following options:

"out"
       o   host

	   The destination host.

       o   port

	   The destination port.

       o   proxy_host

	   The web proxy name or address.

       o   proxy_port

	   The web proxy port.

       o   proxy_user

	   The authentication username for the proxy.

       o   proxy_pass

	   The authentication password for the proxy.

       o   proxy_agent

	   The user-agent string to use when connecting to the proxy.

HISTORY

       Because "Net::Proxy" blocks when it tries to connect to itself, it wasn't possible to pass an SSL-encrypted connection through a proxy with
       a single script: you needed one for the SSL encapsulation, and another one for bypassing the proxy with the "CONNECT" HTTP method.

       See "Net::Proxy::Connector::connect" and "Net::Proxy::Connector::ssl" for details.
