About:
Proxytunnel is a command-line utility that establishes TCP tunnels through HTTPS proxies. It securely forwards arbitrary traffic, such as SSH connections, through authenticated proxy servers. This enables access to internal network resources from outside locations, bypassing firewall restrictions.
Key Features:
  • Supports Basic, NTLM, and Digest authentication
  • Forwards SSH and other TCP traffic over HTTPS
  • Includes features for tunneling through ISA servers
  • Works as a client/server pair for complex scenarios
Use Cases:
  • Tunneling SSH connections through a corporate HTTPS proxy
  • Securing traffic on untrusted networks by routing through a proxy
  • Accessing internal services behind a restrictive firewall
Alternatives:
  • corkscrew – Similar purpose but Proxytunnel offers more robust authentication options like NTLM.
  • httptunnel – Creates a bidirectional data stream, whereas Proxytunnel is focused on tunneling TCP sockets.
