Myk3 thanks for the help, it worked very well! Thanks to all that helped too.

I guess I was doing it double since i already had the option enabled on my router... haha. I'll try that thanks.

Hmm I wasn't aware that I needed such software? I watched the show and all he did was set the SOCKS proxy through plink when he connected to the SSH server. Anyone else care to elaborate on this? I was under the impression that freeSSHd did tunneling on its own and that I didn't need anything else...

Ok so I can connect just fine from my campus, and set up firefox/ie to use socks proxy with 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and port 443... however I cannot access any website when I put these values in. I can access all unblocked websites without it, but none with it. Not sure what's going on but I think it has to do with the server settings? Any help here is appreciated

Well got it working, all i gotta do is test it on my campus and that's it :) Thanks for all the help

Actually i figured out a massive mistake on my part, i was port forwarding to the wrong IP (169 instead of 168). I'm gonna test it tonight when my friend gets home.

Ok so I set up a DDNS account and all of that also I found the SSH option on DD-WRT under Administration>>Services Now i guess i have to test it. I'm guessing i should do a "plink -N -D 443 user@myddnshostname" and it should work?

Ok i see what you mean. Ill look up the SSH on DD-WRT thing and let you know what i come up with. Thanks for the help.

So I'm trying to set up a tunneling service through SSH from my laptop which is connected through my College's campus into my host computer which is my desktop at home. I've successfully set up freeSSHd on my desktop and tested it while on the same network (i.e. on my router) and it works. So I tried to connect via my campus wireless and I got numerous "Connection timed out" errors. I couldn't solve this right away since i had to get home, but I suspect it is because my campus wireless is blocking ports (even though i tried 443). I had a friend try it from his house and he gets "host does not exist" and "no route to host" errors. My router is properly configured to port forward 443 port connections to my pc. I'm using plink on vista and ssh on win7. I've tried: "plink -N -D 443 name@host" "plink -N -D 443 name@host -P 443" "plink -N -D 22 name@host -P 443" "plink -N -D 443 name@host -P 22" "plink -N -D 22 name@host -P 22" Here's my router configuration: FreeSSHd config: A couple of questions also: If my host home desktop is on cable (and thus Dynamic IP assigned to the router)... is there a way I could connect to the router without checking its IP every time? Also, I am supposed to be using the router IP in order to connect to the host pc right? Should I try different ports in case the campus wireless is blocking them? How can I find out which ports are open on the wireless network? Am I doing something totally wrong here? Any input is appreciated. Thanks a lot!
