Hey folks, first post here. Recently got my 5600, and I\'m still running the sharp ROM (ducks). I\'ll wait a bit for OZ to hit another revision since I\'m still having tons of fun with what I have so far. Anyway.....
Just moved, and I\'m setting up a new network at the pad. Zaurus & linux laptop will be wifi. Those two wifi clients will be denied internet access by the router. Two wired comps on the network. Dual booter gamer/linux dev box, and one old arse linux box just for this setup (and other nefarious purposes). Both wired boxes will reject any connection from the wifi clients *except* for the old arse box will allowing incoming ssh from the wifi clients (with key and passphrase of course). So....
All the wifi clients will be able to do is ssh to that box. I\'ll use the dynamic port forward option with ssh to allow them internet access:
On bubo (my Z):
ssh -fN -D 1234 oldArseBox.paranoidLoser.net
If you\'re not familiar, that (or syntax close to it, can\'t really recall off the top of my head) will setup a sock4 proxy (or, what looks/behaves like a sock4 proxy) on the localhost (the Z) on port 1234. Ssh will forward everything hitting it through the ssh encrypted tunnel thru to oldArseBox and then on from there. This works great on PC\'s. However, there isn\'t a socks style proxy option in the network config on the Z. I don\'t know a lot (or, anything really) about proxies.
Will the Z work with a sock4 proxy? Has anyone tried something like this for wifi security with the Z? Can I just list the localhost:1234 as a normal proxy in the network config? Comments? Ideas? Deep thoughts???
