ssh over proxy

[Paras Narang]

Hi,

I am a visiting student at iit delhi. Ssh, ping etc don't seem to be working on the lan here because of the proxy I assume.

Here it says,

For any non-browser application e.g. Skype, GoogleTalk, wget etc. you will have to set the proxy as per the application requirements. You can get the proxy server name, IP and port from the successful login screen. Note that you will have to keep the successful login screen open.

I was able to get dropbox and skype working using manual proxy in their preferences. How to I configure ssh, ping etc to work over the lan proxy?

It won't since the port is blocked.

There are a few details given here, but I can not get it to work. At the end, I was getting a key identification error.

Its not working on LAN. Even I faced the same problem but it is working fine on wifi I dont know why.

Yes skype works both on wifi and LAN. Even Bittorrent or any torrent client works only on wifi.

The ip address range

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

is reserved for private network only. You can't have a public ip
address in this range. If you are using LAN, you might be using
10.x.x.x and 172.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x over WiFi your local ip address.
Whatever proxy you are using, is blocking connection to private
network because of its reserved use.
In case of Skype, the application has inbuilt proxy feature which
might not be blocking connection to reserved private network.
