gEEEk Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I'm working on a SSH connection to my home so I can simply tunnel Firefox and Thunderbird traffic through a SOCKS v5. I'm currently using Plink because I think the GUI in Putty is unnecessary. The command I'm using is: user@ip -P 9393 -D 8585 So the dynamic port I'll be using in Firefox is 8585. My question is, do I need to port forward 8585? And if, TCP or UDP? And is 9393 a TCP or UDP port? /gEEEk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
