TunnelerX Description

TunnelerX - Run a single SSH tunnel from your menu bar, to securely re-route HTTP traffic to a remote proxy server TunnelerX is an application for Mac OS X to let you run a single SSH tunnel from your system menu bar, to securely re-route HTTP (web browsing) traffic to a remote proxy server.If you have ever had to run one of the following commands in a little Terminal window in the corner of your screen, then this application is for you:· ssh -N -L 8123:localhost:8123 bobo@theclown.com· ssh -N -D 8123:localhost bobo@theclown.comTunneling is useful for those stuck behind firewalls that block or otherwise prohibit visiting large numbers of sites on the Intarwebs, or perhaps watch your traffic a little too closely for comfort. Common scenarios are living in countries with national firewalls or office environments.This method of circumventing those restrictions has the following requirements:· You have to have an SSH-accessible account on a server outside of your network somewhere, and you must be proficient enough with unix to set up password-less login for that remote account.· That remote server must either be: · Running a full proxy server of some sort that allows access from localhost · Running a recent (in the last 2 years or so) version of SSH that supports the -D flag for SOCKS5 proxy support.· You must have set up password-less login for your local machine to that remote machine.Requirements:· Enough RAM to boot your computer· 1MB of disk space. What's New in This Release: · The application is now named TunnelerX instead of Tunneler · A few bugs have been fixed related to sleeping and waking up the computer · New graphics and icons for the application. Its a bit less ghetto looking now.
