Github (SSH) via public WIFI, port 22 blocked

Question

I\'m currently on a public WIFI spot and I\'m unable to use SSH (they probably blocked that port). However, I need that connection to do a git push.

Answer 1

I find two ways

First

• tor + torify

After successfully Install and configure tor on system simply run this to check ssh use tor.

torify ssh -Tv git@gitlab.com

---

Second

• tor + privoxy + corkscrew

First configure tor from fist step. Then install privoxy to convert tor SOCKS5 to HTTP proxy.

sudo apt install privoxy

Then install corkscrew

sudo apt install corkscrew

Place this config file in: ~/.ssh/config

host *
    ProxyCommand corkscrew 127.0.0.1 8118 %h %p

Or with ncat

Host gitlab.com
        User git
        ProxyCommand ncat --proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 %h %p

Also can use nc instead of ncat

    ProxyCommand nc --proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 %h %p

Now ssh can use configured proxy.

[Edit]

Simpler version

Use torify before ssh command.

torify ssh -Tv git@gitlab.com

To works with Privoxy+Tor may need to change default configs. For me uncomment this line in /etc/privoxy/config

forward-socks5t   /               127.0.0.1:9050 .

ssh config

Host *
    ProxyCommand nc --proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 %h %p
