OpenSSH proxyfied
New job, new problems…I’m started to work on a big Spanish voice/data provider which (as usual) has every connection passing through a proxy, luckily for me it allows encrypted sessions and almost any other application that can be configured to use it.
The most important point for me is SSH to connect to my home server (from there I can go anywhere…:)) so I took
Google and within some seconds I found the answer I needed,
Corkscrew (funny name anyway!). This program is packaged for Ubuntu (my choice at work) so I just had to install it as usual and write just two lines on $HOME/.ssh/config that look like:
Host bytezero.org
ProxyCommand /path/to/corkscrew 192.168.XXX.XXX 8080 %h %p
The two substitutions (%h and %p) are not really useful here cause I just configured it for my home but it’s nicer isn’t it? 
…and that’s it I can go home through a proxy!
