Using SSH to hide Skype trafic
Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living! -
No, but which ones don't allow it?Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

Originally posted by snawNot quite sure what you're trying to do with the port forwarding, skype uses random ports anyway
The reason for asking is for the 3G ISP's, some have a flat rate but charge a higher flat rate if you want to do stuff like VoIP, my question is how do they know you are using VoIP? And can you disguise it?Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!Comment

Originally posted by portsevenSkype aparently can use SOCKS v4/5 proxying and when you use dynamic port forwarding on ssh (ssh -D 1234 remote_server) it effectivly sets up a SOCKS Proxy listening on localhost:1234 (the 1234 can be any port number you chose). So as far as the ISP concerned all they see is a ssh session going out of their network. Though like you say the trafic profile might stand out as voice, but do they monitor like that or do they look at source / destination ports?

Worth trying to see, but I suspect you'll not get the answer you want.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
