Hello!
I have a rather simple (I hope) question about SSH tunneling for VNC/IPTables.
Alright, I go to college and there is an HTTP proxy in place. The only traffic that gets out is that which originates from IE or a program that recognizes proxies. I want to VNC into my Windows box from school (coding stuff, certain apps I love to use randomly, blah blah blah). This morning, my Linux server was set up to forward packets for port 5900 to the Windows box (I didn't think about the HTTP proxy). The Windows box also runs a web server. I know that requests will be let through the proxy as long as they are on port 80, but I don't necessarily like the idea of people attempting to connect to my web server and being presented with a frozen browser. Is there any way to determine if a packet is a VNC or HTTP request through IPTables? And also, in Putty, would I set the forwarding for Local, port 80, dest. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 and connect through VNC to localhost::80?
Thanks in advance (and sorry for lack of better descriptions, I'm in a hurry today!).
