How to bypass a blocked port on a server through tunneling?


I have installed trac bug tracker on a server behind firewall. I can access it through 127.0.0.1:8000 within the server. I am accessing the server using putty. Now, I would like to access the trac site through my machine, however port 8000 is blocked. How do I access the trac site from my machine through port 22.

Thanks!!


Solution

  • Look at this screenshot:

    Put in 8000 for the portnumbers and put in localhost instead of mail.tralala.org . That will do it. Then you can connect from your local PC to "localhost:8000" and you will end up connecting to your trac server at port 8000.

    Do not forget to click the Add button.
