You may open a browser tab and visit in this example. Once complete, you will be able to access Internet Explorer, Edge or Chrome to navigate onto an IIS server, by entering the IP in your navigator. Within the Advanced tab, select the Network tab and click on Settings in the Connection section. In your Firefox browser, click on the Menu button in the top-right corner of the screen, and select Options. Then, navigate to the Advanced tab. Step 5.2 – Configure your Firefox Browser Your configuration should look like the following figure. Doing so will allow you to view the service from the Destination server. Once complete, you will be able to access Internet Explorer, Edge or Chrome to navigate onto an IIS server by entering the IP in your navigator.

If your remote segment IP differs from internal segment, please check the Bypass proxy server for local addresses box.

Select the Connections tab and click on LAN settings.Ĭheck the Use a proxy server for your LAN box, and click Advanced.Įnter 127.0.0.1 of the host IP in the Socks field, with the configured Port of 4567, and click OK. The following illustration displays the Control Panel Home. Step 5.1 – Configure Internet Explorer to Pass Through an SSH TunnelĪs previously noted, configuring a tunnel through Internet Explorer will affect Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.Ĭlick on Internet options by navigating through your Control Panel in your Internet Explorer browser. For Firefox, refer to Step 5.2, and for RDP usage, refer to Step 2. For additional information, refer to 49152–65535.įurther information for Internet Explorer, Chrome or Edge can be seen in Step 5.1. Step 4 – Configure PuTTY for a Web Browser Tunnel.Īt the Tunnels page, configure a Dynamic port between the ranges of 49152-65535. We shall proceed with a browser tunnel configuration.Īdvanced Scenario (Dynamic Port Forwarding) There are several ways to configure a Tunnel. In the Category menu, drill down to Connection –> SSH –> Tunnels. Once the configuration setup is complete, open an RDP connection and enter your local IP (127.0.0.1), along with the local port configuration in PuTTY.Īs illustrated above, if I enter 127.0.0.1:50001, my connection will translate to the server 172.128.123.10:3389. Doing so will allow you to configure PuTTY to your web browser. Configuring a specific Local port such as 50002 will redirect to 80 of your destination server. Please note that you may configure your ports for multiple servers simultaneously. Select Local and Auto to activate IPv4 and IPv6.Here is an example from my local machine I would like to go to 172.128.123.10, server port 3389. In the Destination field, enter the IP address as well as the destination port.

In the Source Port field, enter the local port that will be redirected. In the Tunnels section in PuTTY, configure a specific Local port, such as 50001, that will redirect to 3389 of your destination server.

Enter your Saved Sessions name, and click Save. If your session already exists, Load it as shown below: In your PuTTY configuration, configure the Host Name and Port of your remote SSH computer. In this procedure, we will use Internet Explorer, Firefox and an RDP connection to demonstrate the use of a tunnel with an SSH connection, as well as configuring the tunnel with several other protocol types. This process is achieved through your PuTTY configuration. Furthermore, you can specify a port and a destination IP to have direct access. What you probably weren’t aware of is that you can use a dynamic tunnel to access all remote infrastructure. Most of you have probably used a tunnel with an SSH connection.
