Watch Netflix from restricted regions
Use: Some Netflix shows are only available in India, Let us proxy through some Indian server to watch Netflix
# In terminal 1
# 9050 is default port for proxychains socksproxy
# something@someIP should be some Indian server
ssh something@someIP -D 9050
# In terminal 2
proxychains firefox
# Check the IP using https://www.whatismyipaddress.com It should show the ip of the ssh server(India), Now you can watch Indian Netflix :D
VNC over SSH tunnel
Best alternative if Anydesk/ Teamviewer fails on linux
# The first thing to do is create the tunnel that routes packets from localhost (at port 9000) to the remote host (at port 5901) through port 22
ssh -L 9000:localhost:5901 USER@REMOTE_IP
- Test localhost:9000 in vncviewer
- You can also use REMOTEIP:5901 in vncviewer without ssh tunneling, but ssh makes it more secure :D
Transfer files over SSH
tar -cvf somedir | ssh USER@REMOTEIP "tar -xf -"
VNC over SSH tunnel over Tor (no public ip)
- Start vncserver on port 5901 on the server
- Binding 9000 of local machine with 5901 in remote, use the command below to bind
sudo proxychains ssh -L 9000:localhost:5901 root@ziuvhhwxme30i.onion
- Test localhost:9000 in vncviewer
