I need to log in to Bugzilla. I am working at home. What do I do?
Inside the firwall Bugzilla is at 10.10.10.31.
sudo ssh -X adyoung@gateway.mycompany.com -L 8080:10.10.10.31:80
Add an entry in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost bugzilla.mycompany.com
This is obviously a very short term solution. The longer one is to get squid set up on my workstation in my office and have ssh port forward to that machine.
OK, here is a better solution:
ssh -X adyoung@gateway.mycompany.com -L 3128:10.11.12.200:3128
I chose 3128 because that is the port for squid, the web proxy that is running on the host at 10.11.12.200. Now I tell mozilla that I need a proxy, tell it to find the proxy at localhost, port 3128. Hit save and I’m in.
This website called Unblock Websites also has some good info on the topic.
