GC> What about stunnel? http://www.stunnel.org/ Wrong again. Those who understood the question suggest proxy chaining, although it's not ideal. For example, I need server names to be resolved on SSH server. The SSH protocol itself supports names resolving on server (PuTTY is the proof), but ssh -D provides only socks4, which doesn't support names resolving on server. Another problem is: we have some applets on remote web sites, and they refuse to load if I use socks server. Here's a diagram. Hope it not wraps. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ | _________________________ | | | private network | | | | ______________ | | | ________________ | ----->| ___site 1___ | | | | | | | | ||java applets|| | | | | web browser |__ __________ | | -------------- | | | | _____________ | |->|http proxy| | | ______________ | | | | | java plugin |___| | + | _____|__|_ | ___site 2___ | | | | | |_____________|| |ssh client|---(internet)--->|ssh server|-->||java applets|| | | | | | ---------- |__________| -------------- | | | |________________| | | ... | | | | | ______________ | | | | ----->| site n | | | | | -------------- | | | |_________________________| | | | | __________________________________________________________________________________________|
