Re: ssh through squid proxy

Yes, it's definitely possible, I do it all the time. I've used both SecureCRT and Entunnel from VanDyke (Entunnel is designed precisely for this), and also ssh.com's non-commercial ssh version to do this. All these products require fairly intuitive gui configurations.

On Linux and MacOS X I do it with the following command:

ssh -2L 3128:<squid>:3128 <squid>

where <squid> should be substituted with the squid box's hostname. The settings for squid don't matter, as long as your allowed clients are set up correctly.

Well, OK, they matter, but the point I'm trying to make is that squid doesn't know or care about the tunnel.

I'd check your squid log for more info on the 403 forbidden...

Do you need help?
