Q: My work has a number of websites blocked by the proxy. I would get around that. Heres what I want:
I would the tunnel, as in my RH 7.1 Linux box and access my web browser. I also want access to ftp and telnet capabilities (secure SSH Ive heard that this is me). I would draw from a browser on the linux box remotly from work and browse the “blocked” message on my Linux box at home from here at work. I want to use this service through my existing apache server, or something that access to the service makes it possible through a number of common operational port, such as 22, 23, 21, 80, etc. . Ive heard that MindTerm will allow tunneling through SSH and SSL, but can agree with what I want to do?
You challenged . lets see what you come with.
Thanks.
I would expect this kind of flaming in off topic to see. But to ask how to bypass a network is one kind of like asking how to hack. Please do not post anything again.

Re:I entirely agree with guy on this one…
You need to consider the ramifications of whatever you may be trying to do. There's a reason for proxies. There's a reason for those huge employment manuals businesses create.
Consider this poor analogy… you're part of tribe of people that are within a castle for protection from being conquered or devastated… you're pissed off with the view of the sunset the castle offers and decide to take a shovel and forcibly create a hole so you can see out.
I'm sure your fellow tribesmen would appreciate that new hole in the castle wall, considering their lives depend on the sanctity of the fortress.

You don't have to work for the Clintons or Gary Condit, do you?
That was the most amazing bit of doublespeak I've seen since Big Bill's "Let me make this perfectly clear…" speech.

Re:Why dont you layoff the guy… He just like the rest of us here are tired of reading posts about wanna be script kiddies trying to circumvent school or corporate policy.
You answered your own question…. You need something to translate one port to another. Your RH box can do it…
Re:guy,
Can you please provide your motivation for bypassing your company's security? Maybe we could help you.
And in short answer to your question – YES.
Re:<< We are part of a joint venture currently researching the way "WE" do business vs moving that to a remote setup. >>
I'm also curious, what does researching the way "you" do business have to do with getting around blocked websites???
Re:<< guy…you seem like the individula that never got pick to play with the other kids after school.

This means a lot coming from someone who is trying to circumvent their company's list of blocked websites. 
<< We are part of a joint venture currently researching the way "WE" do business vs moving that to a remote setup. Notice I emphasized the "WE" – that was a poke with the hot iron to remind you that you have NO IDEA OF WHAT WE DO!

No, not really. Let's examine your original post shall we???
<< My work has certain websites blocked with the proxy. I want to get around that. Here is what I want:
I would like to tunnel into my RH 7.1 Linux box and access my web browser. I would also like to have access to secure ftp and telnet functionality (I've heard that SSH can give me this). I want to be able to pull up a browser on the linux box remotly from work and surf the "blocked" pages through my linux box at home from here at work.

You have been challenged…let's see what you come up with.
Thanks. >>
Where did you mention a "we" in your original post??? Are you sure you just not trying to cover your ass so you look good here???
<< For those of you reading with practicality in mind…and the ability of offer something of an "educated" use…please accept my most humble thanks >>
I offered you osomething of "educated" use. Depending upon the administration of your network you may still be forced to use the proxy. So does that thanks extend to me as well???

I seem to have encountered mindless waste of flesh along my way of bettering the way my company does business.
Re:First of all why are you wanting to do this on your work computer??? If they don't want you to access certain sites during work hours they have the right to do so and you should live with it. Depending on what you are accessing pr0n, warez, etc. the company itself can be liable for what you do. Personally if you do this, I hope they bust your ass.
Secondly with the proper administration of IE and the domain you would be forced to use their proxy. This may or may not be the case where you work.
Re:Seems completely logical that it would work. The one thing I would imagine you would need to do is set up squid or some sort of other proxy type server on your box at home. That way, once you establish the tunnel, you could just point your browser to use that server for internet traffic instead of the company one, and then it should pass everything back and forth just fine.
The only exception to this is the primary direction of said tunnel, and whether the other net connection gets dropped once it's established. i.e. If someone VPNs to my server here at work with the default Win2k client, it pretty much drops their other IP from their use. (there is some funky configs you can do to get around this) But basically, once they are on the VPN, they can't use their ISP account to access the web anymore, they have to change their proxy settings just as if they were on the network here.
