Subject: Coaching to ssh port forward an NNTP connection
Date: 23 Aug 2013 19:44:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7kzjs819br.fsf@callisto.jtan.com> (raw)
I'm completely lost trying to understand how port forwarding with ssh
might do what I'd like to do.
Currently my normal ISP (direcpath) has been banned at
new.gmane.org... I'm not sure what is going on but at least one other
person has posted on gmane.emacs.gnus.user that they were having a
similar problem.
Until the problem gets cleared up, I'd Like to try to use ssh to trick
news.gmane.org into thinking the connection is from s remote machine I
have access to that is not in direcpath domain. The idea being that I
could sit at my desktop. Fire up emacs/gnus but the nntp conversation
is running in a ssh tunnel to the remote machine and from there to
news.gmane.org
I do not have root at the remote machine but I recall long long ago
doing something similar with that same remote and home desktop but at
that time it didn't involve nntp.
Trouble is I cannot remember the first thing about how it was done or
find any notes I may have kept... this has been 10 or more yrs ago.
Can anyone give an outline of how something like that might be done?
