Hi.
I would try to be as brief as possible.
What I want to accomplish:
Use software such as voip etc. etc. on public wifi networks which block the ports for that software.
What I have done:
1.) I have created a ssh server on my PC running Windows 7 64x by following the guide (
How to Setup SSH Server in Windows with freeSSHd/ )
2.) I have installed an App on my phone called " ConnectBot"
3.) I have configured the SSH connection on my phone in the "ConnectBot" app following the guide (
SSH Tunneling On Android | Shantanu's Technophilic Musings )
What I accomplished:
1.) After configuring the SSH server on the PC and the "ConnectBot" on the mobile, I successfully connected them together via SSH. ( That is, I logged onto "ConnectBot" using my SSH server and after entering my SSH password a window with Windows Command Line appeared on my phone ( the black CMD window with C:\Windows\System32> )
What I want to accomplish:
1.) I want to forward ports by using ConnectBot in such a way that my PHONE connects to the pc (through SSH which already works) while on WIFI, and bypassess the blocked ports on WIFI by using the ports from my PC at home.
What I have tried:
App "ConnectBot"
- add port forwarding
- Type: Local
- Source Port: 17333 <-----------------( is this the port which we put into application settings? And then redirect it to the proper one in PC?
- Destination: localhost:80
- Destination: ( PC's IP ie. xxx.xx.xxx.xxx )
- Destination: localhost:17333
When establishing the SSH, and creating a port forwarding, i opened a voip application and for proxy put the localhost:80 or localhost:17333 or my PC's external IP....and nothing works.
The ssh itself works, i can type commands in the Window's CMD, but I want to get the port forwarding to work...]
The good thing is that SSH works perfectly on my phone, and the connection is never interrupted or anything...just the port forwarding is the problem.
Please help ppl
